Another good find ...

I was at my parents this weekend, and my Dad walked me through the "grounds" and showed me his next landscaping idea.
Well, hidden within some pretty unruly azaleas, and a little ways away from it "parent" I found this!

I took it out and potted it up temporarily until I fond a spot for it. I thought it was an amazing specimen!

Not a Japanese Maple, but a Bloodgood Maple. They grow to 15'-20'. Very pretty leaves all year with great fall color.
