I like the cascading style of this Acer palmatum dissectum it's not pruned that is how it has developed

It is hard to beat Nelly Moser Sue and what a clear yellow on your peony.
No bother Geranium.
I agree Steve. The Acer is showy, but the shape helps to make it a showpiece.
I lost my Candelabra 'Appleblossom' in the sawing down the apple tree saga. I just have the yellow label.

I am very interested, of course, Grindle. I remember that I didn't get much seed from my one flower last year so it may be shy with its seed.
When I was at Oxborough Hall in the summer, my WI friends laughed at me for picking up a seed which looked like a primula candelabra seed. The plant had died in its pot, so no-one knew what it was. I sowed the seed with a question mark on its name and it has come up looking like a primula of some sort.

What a great colour Steve. You have a lot of designing opportunities with this and that is something you are good at.

I think they look best next to contrasting colours, if you had the little white one in the corner in front of the other 2 it would show up nicely. I like the big green one in your first pic. too.

It is a beauty G...how about 'White feather' bit anaemic looking isn't it? ;D saw that at Malvern, but it didn't do much for me I'm afraid. My 2 new ones are Stained Glass and Fire & Ice both to grow in hanging baskets, but Stained Glass needs to impress me a bit more yet
