Thought I'd share some pics of my garden. These were taken a couple of weeks ago. My orchids get my undivided attention from October through April but May-September my attentions are often elsewhere!

I LOVE Japanese Maples and you have a nice collection! Beautiful garden!

Very Nice!

Just fantastic Japanese Maples!

I LOVE Japanese Maples and you have a nice collection! Beautiful garden!

Me too, me too!!! So, so, so very pretty!!! I really want Japanese Maples but I have little or no shade on my property. I want a GH big enough to plant Japanese Maples in it!!!

The off-white flowers in the third pic is a dwarf Cytisus.

I have more jap Maples in pots than in the ground. They are strewn all over my back deck. I have 14 in total between pots and the ground. Love them but I live on the edge of where they can be successfully grown. Variety is limited locally so most had to be shipped from British Columbia as 1 gallon babies.

Just fantastic Japanese Maples!

Oh how I miss my Japanese Maples living in a condo.

dude... granted i started out life in indiana and where i was, i may not have been exposed to lots of things but, i ain't never seen such a big postage stamp!
nice garden.

Todd, please post more photos of your other Japanese Maples if you can, I would love to see them! Thanks!

so much beauty:heart::heart:

You have a lovely garden.

My Newfoundland standrads, my garden is quite small. Even my next door neighbours garden is rwice the size of mine and he has nothing but a huge parking lot! Such a waste.

For those interested, in picture 2 are the following maples from left to right: Red Trompenburg, Red Dragon, Omure yama, Bloodgood. In pic 3 is Sumini gashi.

Here is the smallest Jap. maple...Sharp's Pygmy...8 years old and still only 8"!

Nick, the only maple that sets seeds for me is my Suminigashi. The seed sets seems pretty good this year. If interested, I can send some seed.

Beautiful!!!!!

:woohoo:They just keep coming! How many do you have?:heart:

Todd, Is this the same plant, but in a earlier date? I googled the plant, and noticed lots of similarities in this photo to yours!
