ONLY once we have seen blossom samaras on our Acer Japonicum Aureum or Golden Full Moon Maple...
Just went to the pond area and noticed that they produce blossom samaras again!
One has to really search and look for them as they are not on all branches!
Molto bella questa fioritura.Buon giovedì.
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteGrazie e buon Giovedì santo a voi.
Abbracci,
Mariette
Por algo se comienza. estoy segura que nacerán muchas más.
ReplyDeleteSe ve una planta muy bella.
Besos
Querida Antónia,
DeleteAcabamos de llegar a casa de un viaje y aún no hemos mirado... Es un arce ornamental japonés muy hermoso que se encuentra cerca de nuestro estanque.
Abrazos,
Mariette
How beautiful. I don't think maple trees grow here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThank you and indeed this is a lovely small Acer Japonicum Aureum and you have plenty of them growing in the UK, just as in The Netherlands and elsewhere with ornamental gardens.
Hugs,
Mariette
Aren't they lovely! Do the trees have some sort of flowering cycle that takes so many years? Or is it more about where the tree is growing? Nature, in all her forms, is amazing. :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteThey sure were stunning and both of us have no idea of they repeat it only once every so many years. At present we have not even studied them, as I replied to Antónia, we just got back from a 3–night trip. The kitties were very happy to see me pull up in the driveway but they did fine with Ingrid, their cat–love lady that comes twice to feed them.
Hugs,
Mariette
Kim,
DeleteJust went over there and added two pictures as I found some, not spectacular this year but some branches sure do have them!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes the sure are beautiful and I've just spotted some on right now, added the images.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteYes, some of life's little miracles.

I love those lime green leaves! Such a beautiful Spring color. I don't believe I've ever seen flowers quite like those ... so interesting and stunning!
ReplyDeleteDearest Diana,
DeleteYes, the lime green color is so beautiful in early Spring.
We both might have overlooked those flowers and often we were not home to actually notice them!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, Perhaps your warm weather discourages blossom production in maples. In Ohio, the maples produce massive amounts of blossoms and samaras, the winged seeds. When were were little, we used to break the samaras in half; the tiny revealed edge was somewhat sticky and we would stick them on our skin or elsewhere.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteIndeed, that might have an impact on our maples at times not producing blossoms.
And we might have missed them, not even knowing that they DO bloom.
You got fond childhood memories of those sticky samaras.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh so pretty
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteYes, they are very pretty little miracles of nature.
Hugs,
Mariette
I am not familiar with this plant. Nice to see Spring popping out everywhere.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteThis is an ornamental Japanese acer tree and it is beautiful.
Hugs,
Mariette
