    Built from 1837 to 1842, New York's Croton Aqueduct carried water 41 miles on gravity alone, dropping 13 inches a mile; it supplied the city for 113 years

    Some plants offer year-round beauty by changing the colour of their leaves with the seasons rather than relying on flowers alone. Varieties like croton, coleus, Japanese maple, nandina, Virginia creeper, coral bells and burning bush transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. These colour-changing plants can brighten balconies, patios and gardens while adding seasonal interest. Their changing hues are influenced by sunlight, temperature, pigments and each plant's natural genetics.
