"What causes those wild purple leaves in autumn?
The vivid red, purple, and magenta hues that we also see on autumn leaves are from anthocyanins, another compound in the flavanoid family. They are not present in leaves all year round, but rather are produced as light levels decrease. The exact purpose of anthocyanins isn't known. Another mystery of nature that pleases our eyes but puzzles our minds."
