March 3rd - Acer buds

After picking the kids up from school, I went for a wander in the garden to look for the first signs of Spring - I found loads! One of my clematis' has grown a huge bud on it. This is one of the buds on my beloved acer. I bought the acer about loads of years ago for £5 because it's leaves were all sunburnt. I kept it in a pot for a while and then eventually transferred it into the garden. It loved being able to stretch out and grew loads. When we moved in 2007, I wasn't going to bring it but I am so glad I did. It is truly gorgeous when it has all it's leaves and the colour is just stunning. It's worth about £150 now!
