THE LETTER 'T' :-

ACER ESK FLAMINGO: tough, tantalising, & thrilling - on a very windy day. You saw this maple first on April 9th & again yesterday from my front door. It is of interest to note there is not one red leaf left in my garden & if you look around, every tree is bare & leafless. And yet this beauty refuses to bow to convention. Actually, I believe she is timid. Terrified of undressing in front of the big boys ! Note her long weeping side branches that remain green ? She is tremendous. A treasure. And you can put a ring round that word ......TENACIOUS !
