Goshiki Kotohime 3/11/07
Always the harbinger of spring in my garden, Goshiki Kotohime is the first to leaf out. The leaves began to appear as proto-leaves around March 4, and a week later this is what they looked like.
After removing a thicket from a canyon behind our home in 2003, we started learning about Japanese maples, became obsessed by them, and now have about 400 different varieties of Japanese maples. Each year we find new and wonderful varieties, meet other maple collectors and growers, and our garden has become a sensation.
