Moss-covered Vine Maple (Acer circinatum) on the forest floor of the Sol Duc forest in Olympic National Park, Washington, USA, February, Olympic_National_Park_Sol_Duc-6378
These maple trees on campus seem to have only female flowers. Last year I only caught them after they started setting seeds. This is what they look like before. The flowers have exploded all over the trees over just the past few days when we had warm weather.
In the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area, along the Don Valley trails, there's a small clearing, in the midst of which stands this majestic maple. Its brilliant yellow leaves -- half on the tree, and half on the ground -- made the whole area glow golden.
'Tamukeyama' foliage begins spring with bright red growth, deepens to burgundy during summer, and then turns scarlet in fall. The intricately cut leaves look like lace and bring a soft and fine texture to the landscape with their long cascading branches. This rediscovered long lived tree, listed in Japan as early as 1710, is now replacing many contemporary cultivars due in part to its ability to resist fading in summer.
