Osoyoung, is that stewartia a bonsai or landscape tree? I got one last spring, and it's a pretty exciting tree to think about the future of. Your's has the type of coloration that I hope to see on mine. It's just started to turn a couple of leaves purple.
And rubrum, I always expect to see red leaves, so nice that you have a different version.

The stewartia is indeed a landscape tree, Judy, but I harvested a 6ft tall air layer from it this year that will start down the road toward being bonsai next year. Its leaf coloration is similar at the moment - they show orange first (or it is the coloring I notice first). I had fun with a year-long stratification of seeds and now also have 6 seedlings from some other japanese stewartia. They aren't yet showing any response to the changing season.

The rubrum came to me as a freebee with a one-year arborday membership - quite a surprise (who would have thought?). It is even more interesting to me in that shaded portions of leafs stay green longer. But, enough about this peice of junk material :cool:

Larix occidentalis collected this spring, the final bit of fall colour in my yard this season.

The most color you'll get out of me.
I defoliated, the leaves didn't drop, Fall doesn't happen in Florida.

Mellow Yellow

The Yellow hues of this plant reminded me of Scottish singer/songwriter Donovan's 1966 hit "Mellow Yellow", and NO it is not mine :cool:

Acer shirasawanum 'Green Cascade'

One of the most beautiful ways to landscape a hillside. Hand-sized leafs are not so good for bonsai.
