MORE MAPLES !

Another grey old day with low cloud hanging round the hills. I told you I had a bed of Iceberg roses, this is it with a background of maples, the one in front, a seedling, then A. Purpurea; A. Platanoides Crimson King and a beautiful Copper Beech. I purposely planted the white roses to show off the dark colours. The combination looks good. Hasn't the lawn greened up ?

I have a surprise under the Copper Beech (!) but it will keep for a week or two.

There is a peep of the lake on the right, under the cloud.
