Reddish creeper heralds the coming of autumn
CGTN

With the autumn comes a beautiful burst of color, as many plants change from their usual lush green color to reddish-brown and other warm tones. In Binzhou City of east China's Shandong Province, creepers adorn the surroundings in the stunning reddish hues soundlessly announcing the arrival of autumn.

Also known as the Boston ivy, the creeper whose scientific name is Parthenocissus tricuspidata is a flowering plant in the grape family native to eastern Asia in Korea, Japan, and northern and eastern China. It is usually planted for ornamental purposes to cover buildings.
