Our mind now goes to autumn and we think of all the beautiful reds and yellows that herald the change of season.
The Japanese maples are one of the most beautiful in my opinion. Acer Ozakazuki particularly so. However any acer will provide a stunning autumn colour, regardless of original leaf colour.
I would also add parthenocissus (Boston ivy). A deciduous climber that clings via adventitious roots similar to ivy, is a sight to behold on facades of houses, for example.
