The Maples are coming

Planting 5 Japanese Maples in the south west garden was one of my best gardening choices to date. Every season brings delight. As spring unfolds so to do the fresh new leaves. A combination of red and green  with flowers too on closer inspection.  In the heat of summer, lush foliage has a cooling effect. Bare stems in winter display the jewels of rain drops. Finally but not least, the turning of leaves to dramatic reds in Autumn warms me right through.

Spring Showcase

My favourite little violets that pop up quite profusely in the native garden and in the paving near the front door.
