Its beautiful!
So beautiful!
The energy of flowering was spent making the bud toward the end of last season. Flower buds are just metamorphosed vegetative buds. Blooming in spring is largely just inflation of cells that existed before winter.What do you do with the flowers?
Does it work the same way like with Azalea's? As in flowering requires energy and we remove the flowers when they fade so they don't produce seed pods.
Looks to be an acer shirasawanum. Palmatum flowers are presented below the foliage (it is the only definitive way I know to tell the two species apart).visited Bonsai ENR this weekend. Here is a pic of Yves Letourneau's flowering maple
could not take an eye-level pic - it's sitting on a shelf up high in the greenhouse where it spent the winter
Thats pretty sweetThis is from what I believe is acer rubrum growing in my front yard.
