Very nice Sandra, is this your new Acer.

thanx dawn, no this one i have had a good few years in a pot but now in ground this year, my new one is orange dream but its got wind burn so may have to move that one to,

They are susceptible to wind burn, arent they. This one is lovely. looks perfect.

this one has been great every year dawn, i love the dark rich leaves when the sun hits it, im sure my other will be much better in border, more sheltered ;o))

Im sure it will Sandra. Looks like the red one is a bit hardier. Do you know the variety of this one.

i dont dawn, when i got it about 6 years ago it just said acer on tag, cant even remember where i got it , there are so many different ones arent there dawn,

It looks lovely, very pretty ...

cheers carol ;o))

Beautiful San. I just love Acers. My red one has suffered a bit this year, due to the weather. Having said that, it has always been exposed to the elements, earlier this year hubby moved it to be more sheltered, and it's got windburn on some of its leaves. It did better where it was... :o)

thanx linda, its disheartning when they get burned isnt it, my orange dream is more burnt dream now with all the wind here, not sure where i can put it though ;o((

Love the set-up.Its brilliant.

We suffer from bad winds here when they start, because we're on a bit of a hill and we have a valley running both sides of us. My red acer has always been out in the open, but as the weather was getting so bad, hubby put it against the wall under my large green one. You can just about see it on my 'Avatar?' pic, under the green one. I've looked at it again today, and I think I'm going to have to snip and trim here and there to get it looking nice again. Although I don't mind an irregular shape really cos I love Bonsais'. :o)

shame though when you cant find a sheltered space for something delicate and so special ;o)
thanx shapla ;o))

True, true Sand. When you said about your lily petals, made me think of my Magnolia. It bursts into flower, I have maybe a week to admire, then comes the wind. Within a day the petals are gracing my lawn. :o(

;o(( not good

looks very pretty

cheers deida ;o))

Your Acer looks stunning, what a beautiful colour....

thanx dotty had it about 6 years and never dissapoints me ;o))

This is a pretty corner Sandra :o)

thanx Kpjo ;o)) hope i got your name right, cant make letters out properly ;o))

Liking it, liking it a lot.......Actually, I love it!!
Also spot some Petunia's & Geraniums aswell as the Busy lizzies!! lol

thanx steve its completely covered now with bizzy lizzies and a few geraniums, no petunias here only in baskets and pots ;o)) lol

What are the ones with the 2 tone colours? Are they the busy lizzies then? Not seen them like that down this way!!

yup stripe ones, not sure if i like them though lol, im not keen on stripes

I've got stripped Petunias and I love 'em!! Thought that was them at 1st glance but now i've looked again, there different stripes to petunias. lol

lol steve,,
