Japanese Maples and Camellias

Japanese-Maples-CamelliaI love Japanese Maples and Camellias. I especially like how they look together in the fall. The Japanese Maple on the right is a Red Pygmy. I forgot to write down what the one on the left is. Japanese Maples are the only “messy” trees I will plant again. : )

Newly-Planted-Courtyard-Corner_2When I see this picture, I think that I should have stopped planting here. The Japanese Maple “Red Pygmy” makes a beautiful focal point, and the design is simple. (In our next home, I’ll practice more restraint.)

This picture also shows the Camellia that we brought from our condo. It’s making a comeback!
