Pink Autumn - My Beautiful Wednesdaywalk

Hello lovely Steemians !

Ii is a beautiful wednesday again. This means for me that it is time for another great #wednesdaywalk by Hive account@tattoodjay ^^ .. Actually I wanted to capture some nice red, orange and yellow coloured pictures for you as autumn is knocking on my door, but then I found this amazing Euonymus europaea , also known as the Spindle Tree, and directly changed my colour theme for you to pink. This is for sure not the colour people have in mind when they think about autumn.

Here in europe it is a very popular ornamental plant that is used in nearly every gardens by the people. This tree features pink capsular fruits with a size of 1 cm to 1.5 cm that ripe during the autumn time. And If the lobes finally split open, they reveal orange seeds. I personally really love the strong contrast of both colours.

In the Kindergarden we were all were warned to touch this plant as it is, the beautiful it may seem, a poisonous one. The fruits contain alkaloids and terpenes, which can result in liver and kidney damage and even leave to death. On my further way I found some more great examples for a pink autumn that I want to share with you ;)
