very nice dave

ask again, do you get snow there ?

ron

Averages 15-20 inches a year. So far this winter 3 inches but plenty of rain. 10-20 inches of snow 50 miles north of me yesterday. That's the way its been all winter.

Hi Dave, sorry to hear Random #3 gotten taken away -- had a question regarding an acer palmatum? in far left of pic to the far back along chain link fence of it being a beautiful glowing "White" that I guest to be an acer palamatum? which you layed out so beautiful of other acer palmatum from front of pic to back which I could ID which; but not the one to the far back that just glowed beautifully white.

Cheers,

p.s.: really love your picea abies "Cobra" have seen #1 or #3 of no substances to yours (healthy, gorgeous, and thriving -- as usual) LOL. Thanks for your help to ID from your Random #3 would be great. I have a "Floating Cloud" --- for that effect, but yours is just spectacular, so would like to know what it is.

Do you have any pics of your fabulous garden with snow; one of my favorite things to see conifers is it being enrobed in that winter wonderland effect, haven't seen much of that on this forum. It's a rare treat here in Seattle on Christmas especially; had to look up since moving here 30 years ago from Illinois, I looked up that it's only snow on Christmas 3 times since 1909 (WOW --- LOL and I was here for two out of the three). Would love to see yours that way. Cheers, p.s.: since your pics are so postcard/coffee table book quality.

there is a random #4 in the TREE forum ... could that be your 3? ...

thx for the pix dave

Thank you Dave; absolutely gorgeous, you have a wonderful eye for combination. I appreciate the close-up pic of Acer C. "Carnival"; the texture of different conifer around it really shows their unique characteristics too, have a wonderful weekend. Cheers,
