That second seedling looks a lot like my Kagari nishiki. Like to see it after the leaves harden off.

One of the maples in my garden I cut back hard when it was still pretty cold in March, but it decided to explode and make a dense mop of foliage.
Others are native Maryland (weeds) maples that pop up in my yard more frequently than new grass! These are survivors from last year i potted up, were nibbled by our local deer, but re-emerged this year. Not sure on an ID if anybody knows.

I ordered this tree from Mr Maple back in early January of this year so, I had no idea of the dazzling color display that awaited me (other than the idyllic photos you glean from the internet). I am pleasantly surprised!
P.S. Sorry, about the stained fingers. I was removing the flesh from olives in preparation for a propagation attempt.

That is one of my favorite cultivars.

Are you getting much more green? I've heard that many folks have trouble getting white to show on this cultivar. My climate is really good for spring maple colors, and that may be most of the battle, but I know from experience that Ukigumo also likes shade for best colors. The one I pictured is planted in the ground against an east-facing house wall and near large evergreens. It gets no direct sun all year.
Another data point is that when they sell Ukigumo in the nurseries around there, they always leaf out pure green. I don't know the reason, but I've heard it may be due to heavy fertilization by the growers, and changes to normal temperature cycling caused by growing, or at least overwintering, in greenhouses.

Autumn down here so some colour happening.
I missed the best maple colours this season. Here's a couple that are still looking OK.

Here is my Shishigashira. It’s just green but it is intense.

Sorry I didn't label. Kinda don't know what I'm doing yet... Anyways spring has finally got to Minneapolis, Minnesota! I left out the more common ones and a few that haven't leafed out yet. In order from top is 'Ikandi', Kristin's Star, Sazanami. Illarian, Ueno Yama. Corralinum, Tsukasa Dwarf and Tsukasa Dwarf hand reference
Does your Wilsons Pink Dwarf produce any flowers/ seeds?

I love Ikandi in the spring. The leaves tend to curl inward on mine, like the other higasayama varieties. But yours aren't doing that. I wonder why. I'd prefer if mine didn't curl. I'll try to grab a photo of mine today.
