Acer palmatum

The developing seeds on the #acer caught my eye in the sunshine 💗

You’ve got your red and white, and blue sky all wrapped up in one picture 👌🏻

So I have! It wasn’t deliberate 😂 @sharonhayden

I’ve just collected some yesterday from our two acers Jacqueline. I have two little acers that we have grown from seed

How wonderful. I would never even have thought of trying to do that 👏👏 @joanboston

#foliagefriday 💚

With a blue Cumbrian sky? ☀️ 🌞

Indeed! It’s been this colour since the beginning of lockdown... 💙😢@oldwoodentop

I’ve just remembered that you’re in Carlisle though, so you probably know this 🙄😂 @oldwoodentop

I’m your third Cumbrian.....😉 that’s lovely Jaqueline...

Thanks Elaine. It has been so gorgeous up here for weeks, but sooooo dry @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Same here...but I’m not complaining....😎

Me neither 😎☀️🍸👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

8 May 2018 • Thank you @ukgardentags for making me take notice of the little things in the garden #acerflowers

And me! Lovely pic, I’d never noticed them before either! Though to be fair...they are ever so diddy ☺️

They are small but perfectly formed - like you and me 🤣😂 @rachelbrooks

Oh of course! 😂😂

Winter pruning is so beneficial 😉

Wow, that looks gorgeous Jacqueline ❤️❤️

Thanks Jane 😊😊 I shredded most of the brash but kept this branch (you can’t see the lichen unfortunately) and a bit of beech 👌🏼 @pelly

So simple but so Stunning Jacqueline @awomanonabike Love it 😍😚

Thanks Suzie. Very simple 👍🏻😊@jadojado29

Great idea looks fab 👏👏❤️

Thanks Pauline. I’ve never had any decorations up so early but it’s been so dreech today. Quite chuffed with it 😊 @pauline33

So you should be it's lovely 😊 weather been the same here rain all day and snowy showers tonight 😉need to do some shopping tomorrow so hope it stops ☃️☃️

Same here. Rain all day and I need to go out tomorrow too, though I’d rather drive in the rain than the ice... ☔️

I wish I could capture this as it actually looks...it's as if it is covered in teeny lights ❄️🍁❄️🍁❄️

I know just what you mean🤔 I have been trying to catch beautiful raindrops hanging from my Acer but it just won't capture as I see it 🙈

I guess real life always trumps the reproduction 😉😊 @katgreen

Looking lovely but know what you mean I was the same with an acer yesterday can look magical ❄️❄️❄️

It's been wet here then very cold so everything has been looking beautiful - though I haven't driven or cycled anywhere today!! @pauline33

Oh dear no cycling side roads are bad❄️❄️ I'm just doing a quick bit shopping and coffee of coarse then in for the night have a lovely evening 😘

You too Pauline! @pauline33

Is it still bad there Jacqueline? Lovely photo by the way 😊😊

The flooding wasn't too bad and it's been dry since, but it's only got above freezing in the sunshine. How about you? @pelly

Only some overnight rain a couple of times this last week, which I don't mind, but the last couple of days have been very cold. My garden is really quite sheltered so the frosts haven't done any damage yet. I still have a few summer plants flowering👌👌

How lovely! It's definitely winter here. All the leaves have gone, though I still have some roses in flower 🌺 @pelly

#treetuesday This is all the same tree. The north side knows it is autumn, the south side thinks it's still summer! 🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁

Not sure what species this is, but it's not a miniature!
