Salal is an evergreen plant that carpets the forest floor in areas where there is an opening in the canopy, and near roads and paths.

It is green, most of the time. Except in the fall, where some of the leaves start to decay and acquire a bit of individuality.

 

The decay patterns are interesting.

 

Very individual.

 

 

And lacy.

 

And some go very red, as a final big show…
