Autumn flowers bloom, autumn sun is warm: keeping the fleeting moments of autumn
Valleys and gullies
Time flies
People among plants and trees for a long time
Will they grow leaves

"In the morning I went to the small hill near my home and saw that the wild vegetable mountain horsehair, which Dalian people love to eat most in spring, has bloomed. Mountain horsehair buns are the most famous in Dalian in spring, delicious, and I did not expect this little flower to be so delicate too." (Gypsophila oldhamiana) - Xia. Photographed in Dalian
"The Dandong-Benxi area has the most maple leaves in China. To see maple leaves, you do not need to go to famous scenic spots; a family can even have a maple grove all to itself. The photos I took are not in a scenic area, and the scenery is still very beautiful. In the stream valley where I was looking at maple leaves, I also came across Orostachys blooming. The Orostachys in the mountains of Northeast China is very charming." (Acer pseudo-sieboldianum and Orostachys) - Yike. Photographed at Maokui Mountain, Fengcheng, Dandong

"Drifting through the dusty world like an unmoored boat, at leisure with old friends wandering Penglai. On the osmanthus tree, the shadow of an orchid, both are pure fragrance, one flavor of autumn."

"The beauty of Oreocharis argyreia is hard to describe, making one marvel at the Creator's wonder. The photos are far from conveying her texture and warmth. The strange shape is also something I have never seen in my life, and after walking through the entire Lanxi Valley, there was only that one clump, as if it had bloomed just for me. On the 4.4-kilometer route, I unexpectedly did not miss it." - Zhang Yongmei. Photographed in Fujian
"When I first saw Strobilanthes, I was incredibly surprised. I traveled over mountains and rivers to photograph her, only to find that the mountains were covered with them everywhere!" - Zhang Yongmei. Photographed in Fujian
"I just wandered around near my home, and there were not many people either. The water stone hibiscus has bloomed a few more flowers." - Ping. Photographed in Xiamen

Below are photos I took casually. The notable thing is that there was no sunlight; the whole National Day in Chongqing was rainy and overcast:
Chinese elm, the young fruit has turned green
Phyllanthus urinaria, the fruit has ripened and turned red
The underside of the leaves of Fokienia hodginsii, quite stunning
Some kind of festive ornamental bromeliad
Multi-branched cycad
Bird's-nest fern
