Stephen’s Garden Colour

I was down at Stephen’s place for a few hours yesterday and took a few snaps of his Autumn colour.

A Few Others From Yesterday

Some from my very wet and windswept benches.

Wild, Wet, Windy…

And I still braved the elements to take a few photos today!

I watched this Japanese Maple get striped by the wind over the last 24 hours. This is all that’s left.

A few of the leaves showing the range of colour. This one had green, yellow, orange, red and perhaps a little purple!

A few others.

A Strange Combination

I thought that this was a strange combination of colour in my flowerbed.

A Japanese Maple in Autumn reds, a Rhododendron in Flower and a Fuschia in the back covered in flowers.

Camera out Again

I was playing around with the camera again today. Getting a few better snaps of my trees. Also tried a slightly different lighting set up. It’s still a bit Mickey Mouse, but it’ll do.

Rescue maple Colour

I have been watching this Maple out of my window all week. It has been changing colour in front of my eyes.

This was it back on the 4th October.

and this was it today.

If the wind stays away, I’m in for a treat over the next few days 🙂 Taking it to my club meeting tomorrow night to add a splash of colour.

Another Tree Delivery

This time I did absolutely no lifting, other than the camera 🙂

My friend Stephen getting a door to door service with the delivery of his new Maple Raft.

My New Addition

This weekend I added this Root Over Rock Trident Maple to my Collection. I love working with Tridents and have always loved the root over rock ones that I’ve seen. I spotted this tree at Willowbog Bonsai a few weeks ago and Peter brought it over to NI for me on Friday. It has an interesting rock with a little pool area holding water and it looks like pretty decent ramification. Looking forward to seeing it bare in a few weeks time.

Stephen’s Trident Part 2

I posted back on the 4th August about Stephen’s Trident. You can read the first part of this Trident’s recovery there.

This was it after the work on the 4th August.

This is the tree today.

To be honest, I didn’t expect this amount of growth at this time of year. No doubt it will hold on to leaves well into the winter. However, it will be tucked safely away in my greenhouse. Not bad for a tree suspected to be dead 1 1/2 years ago.
