Kotohime 4/2/07

Kotohime is one of my favorites. It leafs out early (by mid-March) in rich rust/brown/red/orange colors and then gradually lightens to its current terra cotta color in early April. It turns green for summer and then in the autumn is pale yellow/orange. It's very short petioles give the plant a congested and bunched up appearance which is charming given it's tiny leaves.
