Leaves, sunshine and a little flower!

Mr Goodgle just told me that these are Japanese Maple! Hope I got it right… Pretty, red leaves with very small bright red inconspicuous flowers are followed by fruits called samaras which are nutlets enclosed in a papery, fibrous tissue that’s in the shape of wings. They are shaped to spin as they fall and to carry the seeds a considerable distance on the wind. Nature thinks of everything!

Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower – Hans Christian Andersen

Have a beautiful day!
