I don't usually get round to posting pics on the day they are taken, but here are a few of ice pictures on the greenhouse roof this morning.

I thought the ice pictures looked good on Monday but I had the family coming for lunch so had no time to get the camera out.  Luckily the patterns were repeated on Tuesday and I was able to capture the pictures.  It has not been cold enough last two nights for frost to form on the glass.

Roma, your greenhouse frost shots are stunning - they would look great as a print for paper design

I'm enjoying this thread very much.

Here is a photo of Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream'.  It is planted near my deck.  In this particular top view looking straight down from the deck, with the young fans of foliage streaked with color, it struck me as arty or "artsy".

Your Acer is not a cultivar with which I am familiar, Mark.... I like it!

Mark, Maggi,

I saw examples of this cultivar in Cornwall last Easter and it struck me as a particularly good one.

Thanks, Paddy..... I'll keep a look out for it... though where I'd find room for another Acer I cannot imagine! :-X
