    That's Mrs Shiney's thumb :). Mine doesn't bend at all :rolleyespink:.

    She's the one who picks up, feathered, birds and rescues them :biggrin:

        My mum also had quite a bendy thumb - not sure if as much. Mine are pretty straight!

              That was three days ago. We had frost last night and strong winds today and the tree is now bald!

              It's an Acer palmatum 'katsura'. Supposedly has a maximum height of 2.5- 4 metres but ours grows taller in full sun. The one in shade keeps smaller and less spectacular in colour.

                            Thank you Michael. It is a joy to have. I purchased it from Aldi I believe c 2005 (before I had a computer in 2006 when I joined GC) but found this picture of its first bloom when it was in a small pot. It was advertised as a B sanguinea ...

                            I love your Rhipsalis pilocarpa and must see about getting one.
