As October arrives and pleasant autumn breezes are blowing, the changing of the seasons can be felt little by little in the Millennium Forest.
The purple bark flowers along the edge of the pond are in full bloom.
Does the name of this plant sound familiar?
The purple bark tree was named after the famous writer Murasaki Shikibu because it bears purple berries in the fall.

Suddenly, I looked up at a tall tree near the pond and discovered a bunch of orange berries! These are called nettle trees.
The fruit resembles that of the nandina, so it is sometimes called nandina.

The red spider lilies are blooming side by side.
It was named Higanbana because it blooms during the autumn equinox.
By the way, the stems of red spider lilies contain poison, so care should be taken.

The Japanese viburnum has produced small fruits. It is aspect by producing fluffy white flowers in the spring, followed by red fruits from autumn to winter.
Within the garden, you can also see a species of Viburnum that looks very similar to the Japanese Viburnum, but the difference between the two plants is apparently the size of their leaves.
When you take a stroll through the Millennium Forest, be sure to try and find both of them.
