Cheering ourselves up with Maples

A little more progress here...

 

Hi dangerine49. Whats the names of the beautiful trees in your first and fourth photo?

 

Hi LoverOfMaples!
#1 - Ryusen
#2 and #3 - Autumn Moon
#4 - Butterfly
#5 - Waterfall
#6 - Peaches and Cream

FYI - My daughter is a URI graduate

 

Here are some from my garden: Amagi shigure; Atropurpureum tree and flowers; Garnet; Geisha Gone Wild; Ikandi; Jordan; Mirte; Mocha Rose (macrophylum)(2); Mon Zukushi tree and flowers; Ryuzu; Sagara nishiki; Twombley's Red Sentinel

 

Very nice maples you have. My Peaches and Cream is a little behind yours. Hey that's awesome. My wife is a professor there. The campus have a very nice maple collection as well.

 

Hi Cjart, lovely photos, I like kandi. Thankyou for sharing them with us.

 

Hi dangerine49, a lovely selection of photos and so well positioned in your garden. Thankyou for sharing them.

 

Hi @Cjart. What ground cover is that you have growing?

 

Goshiki Shidare has to be one of my favourites.

 

Hi Jaybee63, I can see why, 'all season long colour'. Wonderful.

 

Success story, the attached picture is a '4 inch tall', yes 4 inch lol, of Iijima sunago. Thought I had lost it last year, but with patience and protection from the Winter rains and Spring frosts with bubble wrap etc, It has come out to cheer me up. Maples do try so hard to please!! That's why we all love them.

 

It is a sedum--not sure of the variety since it was growing in some parts of the yard when we moved in 24 years ago and has spread on top of bark--very hardy to be sure!

 

Thanks for the opportunity!

 

As for a favorite, my first maple was 'Autumn Moon' and that will always hold a special place.
Bittersweet though as Verticillium wilt ravaged the plant a few years ago.
Anyway, a Spring before that…

 

Hi wind-borne, gorgeous photos. Love them!

 

Hi LoverOfmaples, Bet you have some lovely specimens in New England, from someone from old England.

 

Just a quick picture of one of my Omureyamas from this morning , taken quite a few pics today will have to get them posted just been a bit busy though.This was heavy in seed last year due to the very hot summer the previous year so didn't look to clever during the fall , but was worked on over the winter so should look good this year, already trailing on the ground

 

Wow ROEBUK, that has made incredible growth it seems. It might take over, watch out!!! lol. Look forward to seeing the other photos you took today.

 

Hey ROEBUK, with your Omureyama and my Iijima sunago today, I think we win the prize for the Little and Large competition?????

 

Hi @Acerholic, yes there are some very lovely specimen here.

 

It looks nice.

 

Hi LoverOfMaples, thought so after seeing your profile photo.

 

simply stunning

 

After seeing your Omureyamas on your video I got a decent sized one. I love it. Colour not so special so far but the form is quite graceful. I can’t wait to serif in Autumn.

 

That’s cute
