I just had to have it!!

Post by impatience »

I went into one of the local nurseries and it grabbed me as I was walking by!! :o It was an extravagant purchase, but you know how it goes when you are smitten.

This is Acer palmatum 'Toyama nishiki'. It thread leaf leaves are green, white, pink and red. It is so outstanding and pictures don't even do it justice.......but, here is a close up showing the leaves.

What do you think?

I had the very same problem with an Asahi Zuru... the darned thing hit me between the eyes so hard I had it home before I even knew I had bought it :wink:
