Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream' ... for Karen

Karen, this has very dark green stems.

Ok, thanks, I'll check it out. Mine is so far behind yours it's not easy to compare them. But the green stems is a good clue. Its pouring rain here at the moment. :(

Lovely Shirley.:-)
Raining here as well Karen:-((

Mine is also quite far behind yours Shirley...its so lovely ....:>)

Thanks all ... this has been outdoors all Winter ... in the shelter of the house wall and out of the wind.

That is doing well Shirley, mine is just a straggly stalk with just a hint of what maybe a bud coming!

You must talk to it nicely then Carole ... :o)

Perhaphs I could sing to it Shirley, then it would shoot up to get awat from my voice lol

Doing well Shirley.....

Sounds similar to my voice Carole ... not a hope of me joining a choir!

Thanks Dotty .....

Oooh, that's pretty.

Yes T'bear ... lovely shades of colour to it. :o)

I love the colour of this one Shirley we bought a small one in France last year as you know they close all shops between 12-2.00pm leaving their good outside well I saw this plant with the price tag on it the shop was shut what do you do ? I left the money in a plant pot where they could find it ,at least I hope they did :o)

Hi Shirley_Tulip, wonderful autumn colours ..... Did I just say autumn ? :~ ((

Amy, I'm sure the money was found! Made me think of the stalls often seen in country lanes in the West country where eggs and flowers are for sale - just take what you want and leave the money in the box! Pretty sure the box would be stolen around here ... :o(

Lol Alan - they really do make one think of Autumn :o)

Lovely Acer,Shirley..it's looking very healthy..I can't sing either ,and can't vouch for Carole's voice,as I've never heard her sing.Lol..I'm sure she is kidding you :o) x

Thanks Sandra - the three tenors have nothing to fear from us then!

:o)) xx
