Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'

Last year I was diagnosed with a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome after years of struggling physically and mentally with living a normal life. My mum bought me this tree to mark this event in my life (the diagnosis,) and therefore this is a very special little tree. I hope it lives with me wherever I go ☺️ #acer #maple #specialplant

Oh bless you, how distressing and what a wonderful gesture from your mum. I hope it does too Gaby ❤❤❤

So sorry to hear that Gaby my best wishes go to you 😘 and what a beautiful gift a truly special tree

Thanks @pelly and @icedance 🙂❤️ it's even more special because the first plant I ever saw and immediately fell in love with was a butterfly acer, now acers are my favourite trees 😁

My baby Butterfly Acer which has special meaning to me has new leaves just about bursting out and a new inhabitant :) #newgrowth #spring #acer #spider #insects

Lovely when they start to wake up!
