So beautiful....

I always love your photo's 4 seasons....There is always so much colour and interest........

Wow!!

This is just stunning. What is that big yellow plant/tree in the top right please??? It would suit my garden perfectly. Thanks in advance. :)

Sharni, Thanks for your kind words

This is one of our coral bark maples :Acer palmatum Senkaki/Sango-kaku which has small yellow-green leaves in summer, yellow leaves from late summer and red stems throughout winter.

Acer palmatum 'Senkaki Eddisbury' is similar to Senkaki/Sango-kaku but does not grow as large. The winter stems are coloured more deeply red than 'Senkaki' and scarlet would be a more accurate description! The spring foliage is bronze - green. In summer the leaves turn gold with red margins and in autumn the leaves are red orange and golden.

If you wish to see more of our photos of these acers we have posted them on our Flickr site

We have moved our Flickr set of acers to the front page of our Flickr site. The first few pictures of the acer set are Senkaki/Sango-kaku and the next ones are Acer palmatum 'Senkaki Eddisbury'

Wow sounds even better, I must look into getting one of these. I have looked at so many of your pictures and admired your garden it's truly beautiful and has given me many idea's. I want to have many shrubs and year round colour so it's great to see real pictures to get a good idea of what might work. Thank you so much for your in depth reply. :)))
