Acer palmatum
Snuggled next to Arakawa and Peve Starfish, Red Flash hovers just outside the bedroom window. Living up to its name, in Spring there is a burst of bright red to reddish pink color, that ages to a mottled red and green combination. Fall gives a red show to rival the nearby burning bush. Literature indicates this to be a reliable strong grower, and it holds up well to the hot Southern western sun exposure.
