That is the second acer I have seen & they are mesmerizing....I really, really want one...happy gbbd!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janie! Happy GBBD to you as welll! I got the second acer this spring when I enlarged a front bed. I was thinking that I made a mistake getting the green one, but once the foliage changed to orange I no longer thought so!
DeleteGotta' admit my jaw dropped at reading you've already had a few temperature drops under zero...now that's cold in anybody's book. Your pictures are wonderful... but that seems to be a habit with you!
DeleteHave you tried a sedum called 'Lemon Ball'. It looks almost identical to 'Angelina' except it keeps its chartreusey color through the winter. I love them both.
Sorry Michaele..I meant bellow zero Celsius which is bellow 32 F. This is an error due to my European descent and education. I have not seen the sedum "Lemon Ball" around here. I will keep an eye for it!
DeleteHello! I enjoyed seeing your lovely photos. I would love to find space for Japanese maple or two in my yard. They have a good-looking shape, and the fall colors are just stunning! Happy Bloom Day!
