Timo and I stopped by Whitney Gardens on our way to Aberdeen. Timo ‘popped the question’; “do you still want one of those japanese maples?” I knew exactly what he meant. We had seen their mature Shishigashira that spring and were wowed. The tree was covered in tiny crinkled leaves. Later research showed that the fall color was also spectacular. It was on my wish list. We ran in, picked a nice looking sapling and continued down the road. I have just the spot for it!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I’m adding a note to myself to schedule time to go again in the spring to see the rhodies in bloom as well as a trip in the fall to see all their maples turning.
