Trees doing their one annual flex before going bankrupt for winter.
means The leaves of a plant or group of plants, collectively, especially when considered for their display.
from Traces back to the Latin 'folium' meaning leaf — the same root that gives us 'folio' and 'portfolio' (a carrying case for loose leaves of paper). It passed through French 'feuillage' before settling into English spelling, with the 'folio' spelling later reasserting itself by analogy with the Latin, which is why 'foliage' looks more Latin than its French middleman really was.
