）

（

It
is
a
popular
notion
that
autumn
leaves
are
tinted
by
freezing
temperature.
In
truth,
the

colored,

Red
leaves
such
as
maples
are
brightest
when
sunny
days
are
followed
by
cool
—
but
not
freezing
—
nights.
Under
such
conditions,
sun-made
sugars
are
trapped
in
the
leaves,
where they form the
red pigment anthocyanin.
Leaves
that
appear
yellow
in
autumn
are
no
less
yellow
in
spring

summer.

in spring and
summer the yellow pigments are
masked
by
the

pigment,
which
breaks
down with the
diminishing sunlight of fall.

There is growing evidence that
urbanization
has a sharp impact on
climate, causing
changes that can
wreak havoc on
precipitation patterns that supply the

So
much sentimentality is attached to the rose
in popular culture that it is difficult
to separate
the original mythological
and folkloric beliefs
from
the
emotional

of
the

’

roses were to be planted

The

a rose outside the house.
