That is just beautiful...you just gave me an idea 'cause I just bought a Paul's Glory and have a recently purchased Japanese Maple...how perfect!

Striking composition!

Beautiful indeed! What is the yellow plant in the backgroud???

I was going to ask about that yellow one too because the contrast of that against the maple and PG makes it even more interesting!

swmogardens, I like the gold hosta contrast with the red JM, looks good! hostajim

The yellow shrub is a garden glow dogwood (cornus hesseyii)

What's not to hug? Great picture.

swmogardens- May I ask the name of the red Acer palmatum, and also what zone you are in? Your photos are breathtaking. Thanks fo posting them.

Hey sprout,
That is one of my very favorite Japanese maples, it's called Fireglow. You should see it when the sun shines through it, it earns it's name. I live in SW MO, zone 6.
