Rilas Red 4/6/07
This charming fuzz ball was introduced by Del Loucks. Rilas Red is an elegant and tidy little tree which is extremely difficult to photograph due to its having lobes far thinner than a human hair. I was simply lucky on this occasion to capture a leaf.
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.
