Cheering ourselves up with Maples

@GreenLarry good afternoon Larry, your photos appear to me to be Acer saccharum. Can't see the leaves too clearly though.

 

Thanks, but the leaves look quite ornate

 

It's A. saccharinum. Silver Maple.

 

@GreenLarry Acer saccharinum

 

@emery Snap Lol.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Some more maple photos from today
Norway I believe

 

@GreenLarry looks like Acer platanoides to me. Grey bark is the give away, although I can't see the leaves clearly.
Lovely Autumnal photo from Darlington Larry.

 

Oh no they're definitely not Sycamore. Those are still very green here, and the leaves are quite different. Pretty sure they're Norway

 

@GreenLarry, Acer platanoides commonly known as Norway maple.
Acer platanoides - Wikipedia

 

Ah I'm reading platanoides and seeing the word pseudoplantanoides!

 

@GreenLarry Lol. Time for bed I think !!!! BTW enjoying your blog Larry.
Good night.

 

Good morning, just a few from me today as I'm off to my daughters to do some more gardening.
My theme today is, 'not everything turns at the same time'.

 

Leaves collected from Westonbirt over the weekend 17th October 2020 by my daughters friend.
Arranged to make to make a lovely picture.

 

Just got back from my daughter and son in laws garden and brought home a gift they bought me for doing their planting etc etc.
A note with it said, 'thanks Dad and we looked for one specifically with the root flare showing, Lol'.
Anyway, here is my new Jerre Schwartz and in photo 1, the root flare.

 

That's brilliant!

 

What a day is expected today as rain is forecast all day long. Foreboding skies when I took these few. Thought my Jordan was very strange looking with old leaves and still new growth.

 

Things are changing ever so slowly here. I finally got some free time today to seek out some leaves turning. Still plenty of green and some are getting crispy before changing. Did find some color on the Garnet, Grandma, Baldsmith, Autumn Moon, Tsuma Gaki, Sango and Tamuk. The Ariadne is still green and Harry is still red!

 

Same here @dangerine49

A few of mine is still flushing out like it's spring and some with no leaves at all.

 

@dangerine49 good morning J, can I echo D @LoverOfMaples, I think it's the same everywhere this year, no matter what continent. But it does give us all a talking point...... Even Harry looks very Summer like.

 

It's a lovely bright Autumnal morning here in Southern England, dry and a bit chilly which after yesterday's 18°C is a bit more normal.
I am having the same as many others on the Maples forum as in new growth, bare trees and Autumn colours. Quite disappointed in some that have just gone from Summer to brown curled up leaves.
But here are a few that have done reasonably well.

 

work in progress

Picking up speed with 'Green Cascade' now. Last year at this stage all the leaves were blown off.


Profile and gazing down upon.

 

@wind-borne So at least something good to come out of this year G, after everything you have had to face in Oregon. Lovely colours!!! The greens are so special in the maple world.

 

My sister-in-law has a house in New Hampshire and sent us his pic today.
