My Shindesojo and some Acer from seed. Still early for me, just now leafing out most of my maples.

The bench is looking pretty nice today:

Quite a variety here including:

• Regular Acer Palmatum
• Beni Chidori
• Arakawa
• Shishigashira
• Deshojo
• Shin Deshojo
• Kotohime
• Trident Maple
• Shantung Maple

"Sawa chidori" means marsh plover (the cream colored long-billed plover) but the characters for chidori have a poetic double meaning of "a thousand birds".

And at just the right time of year, you really can see a flock of a thousand cream colored birds.

My maples are lame this year, not much sun last year, and no sun so far since I have not been able to relocate them out to the backyard.

Baton Rouge




Shin Deshojo, I was surprised that Shin Deshojo is very similar to the color of Baton Rouge once it lost the full reddish color.




Hubble's Cork




My Kotohime, Arakawa, and the few momiji that I have didn't show any colors at all.

Butterfly

@Bonsai Nut, what a blank foliage for a butterfly. It must sit at a really shady position to show this much "blank".

An ‘arakawa’ with flowers


And a trident with flowers. The leaves on this tree start out poorly, but they do have great Fall color.
