A damn nice and very outlandish Japanese Maple nevertheless! I just hate the girly name! Why never something like the Shrimp Pink Maple?! Lol!
Picture then a short video ...

ACER PALMATUM PINK PASSION
Hers is a Pink Passion bought for me last year that looks identical thus far to my 6 foot tall Acer palmatum Shirazz?!
A damn nice and very outlandish Japanese Maple nevertheless! I just hate the girly name! Why never something like the Shrimp Pink Maple?! Lol!

SHRIMP PINK JAPANESE MAPLE - ACER PALMATUM KAORI NISHIKI
This one was not completely out but I took a few shots and filmed it due to think deep pink leaves on first appearing.
This is part of the Butterfly group but you might be surprised to hear, if you have a Butterfly, that despite the Butterfly being attractive it is the least attractive of this group as all the others have various shades of pink of them along with the very light and dar green!

JAPANESE MAPLE - ACER PALMATUM DISSECTUM SEIRYU
Now this one might be of interest for people to seek out! For two reasons and that is that it is a lighter green the the normal viridis dissectum and also it can take much more sunlight, rather curiously, than the other Maples and that includes the other Dissectums!
Oh and the fact it goes a really nice orange-red in the Autumn would not be sniffed at either!
Here are some shots and bear in mind that this Maple is in a position where it receives far more sunlight than any of the others and this is near the house and away from big trees in a south facing garden!!
I can see everyone that has every burnt a Japanese Maple to a crisp now scrabbling around the backs of the cushions on the sofa for that pen that went missing?! Lol!

JAPANESE MAPLE LITTLE PRINCESS
Here is an oddball one, or it IS in my book. Not particularly hard to get but what makes this odd for me is that it is like a miniature Tsuma Gaki (Painted Fingernails) as this has red tips to its leaves to. However whereas this one can be light green it is normally a much darker emerald leaf with red tip.
It also does not weep like Tsuma Gaki and as well as the leaves being small it does not grow into an unmanegable size.
Though one should remember that Acers only grow into unmanageable size ... IF YOU LET THEM! LOL!

JAPANESE MAPLE TSUMA GAKI (PAINTED FINGERNAILS)
Another one of my Acers and a particularly beautiful one and added to that very different from every other Maple, despite having similar leaves to the normal palmatums!
This one has weeping leaves to start with and a beaqutiful light Jade Green colour with red tip and Tsuma Gaki means painted fingernails!

Here is a video and I will acquire more pictures and another video over the next few days when it looks it's best!

JAPANESE MAPLE TREE ORANGE DREAM
I am going to concentrate a little more on Orchids and Japanese Maples this year, when time and finances permit of course!
Now I have taken some shots and done a few films of my first maples to be in leaf, this one is my Acer palmatum Orange Dream ...

INCOMING PINK PASSION JAPANESE MAPLE TREE
Well I need to get around to acquiring a couple of maples but think it likely to be next year now.
In the meantime I do have one coming in which I have not heard of previously and there is precious little about it on the Internet?! Though I did find that little and I will do some more research on it but it looks like another form of one of my favourite Maples which also happens to be my largest Maple.
It is called Pink Passion and from what I can see looks like another type related to Shirazz, or otherwise known in the USA I think of Gwen's Rose Delight.
Of course there will be pictures and more about this when it arrives.
Hmm now I am actually thinking of taking a look up the garden centres this coming week to see what I can find?! Now THERE is an idea and maybe I will pick some up this year after all?!
After all this blog is getting a bit neglected, lol, I should really fill those holes that have been created in my garden with maples?! LMAO!
Saw a Beni Schichihenge in Morrisons and wated to replace mine and did not buy it, lol.
:(
But then I have that Kagiri Nishiki already which is very similar. Some really are very much alike!

ACER PALMATUM DISSECTUM SEIRYU in JULY
I still want a purple one of the along with a variegated one whose name escapes me right now along with Orangeola.
I do suspect however that Orangeola is not really that different from this one, in Autumn at any rate?!

ACER PALMATUM SHIN DESHOJO in JULY
Though I love all my maples there is only one that always stops me in my tracks with surprise each time I catch a glimpse of it while in my garden!
The Shin Deshojo and I really do not think that my pictures of it do them justice as they look like they have a faint glow to them when you first look at them. Never fails stun me!

ACER PALMATUM TSUMA GAKI in JULY
Here is my Tsuma Gaki and a little lighter than normal for this time of year. Still a great deal darker than the SPring though and a shame they do not keep that Spring colour as the green is very vibrant and lighter even than my Shirasawanum?!
A great weeping look when leaves first emerge too!!
Tsuma Gaki means Painted Fingernails.

ACER PALMATUM AKA SHIGITATSU SAWA
Normally with more of the red flushes over the leaves and will get more shots and videos of this one throughout the year is my...
AKA SHIGITATSU SAWA
Very different shape to other maples and grows more laterally, sideways, as opposed to up.

ACER PALMATUM VIVIDUS IS LIKELY SHIN DESHOJO
Right now vividus is NOT what this is called, I just conjured the name, in fact I do not know.
But if FORCED to guess the variety I would go out on a limb and say that this is Shin Deshojo and started out as this variety and at best I would only be HALF RIGHT, lol.
Might sound confusing but I will explain in the next post but I had forgotten how vivid these get in full splendour but this only lasts a few weeks before it goes a darker red.
I am pretty sure I have a Deshojo and this one looks like a better version of it which is what the Shin part of the name means, new or better.
I realised when I took these pictures that along with another Ukigomo I need to find out for SURE what this is and buy another one this year!!
So you may guess at this that it looks EXACTLY as it does in the pictures which are not altered at all.

ACER PALMATUM ORIDONO NISHIKI
I never have been one to go for commonly available plants or animals, but I had also never been one to pass up ossessing such beauty either?!
Oridono nishiki is often seen in garden centres and this and Ukigomo, Ukigumo, or simply must haves above and beyond anything else!
This one being a good mix of large amounts of green with white and pink and with Ukigomo having nearly all pure white leaves but misted or splashed with green all you need for a little dreamy looking forest is an Orange Dream/Katsura and a Bloogood.
Contrast people....CONTRAST!
For me, once you have followed and become familiar with my rules on these guys, I would always suggest four different colours and thse would be the first four.
Together they look amazing, not too many to keep an eye on and as you learn and keep them you can then spot more and its fun to work out which colours to place next to each other, not good for your back after a few years and they are hefty beasts, lol.
I like to keep the dissectums separate from the main Maples but grouped together.

ACER PALMATUM SEIRYU
Some more shots of my Dissected Maple called Seiryu.
A little oddity this one and there are just two other Dissectum I would like to acquire. One is Orangeola and the other is actually drak with light patches and likely a variegated dissectum?!
It is the only one I came across that lloked like a variegated dissectum and in the local gardening club they had them but were not small nor cheap, lol.
Cannot recall the name now, not that it matters I would recognise it from 50 yards away but I think it was something like Taisho Nishiki, or something like that.
Seiryu here seems to tolerate more of the direct sunlight than any other Maple I own?! Very strange even for a dissectum?!

ACER PALMATUM DUNNONO
I named this one and is my claim to fame...
...except I am the only one that knows about it and that is because I called it that because when I bought it there was no name and I just did not dunnono what it was?!
GROAN! Yes OK ... TERRIBLE.
Actually I realised that this started out life as something like a Shin Deshojo but a sucker had outgrown it. A sucker is a branch normally from below the graft of a cultivate that is the original plant.
Oh for the record there is a Deshojo and the woed 'Shin' means new or better, cannot remember, lol.
This is now 7 feet tall or more!
