Maple tree on a tropical island

Nursery-shopping bugs caught on waimun and i. We brouht back a maple tree tis time. LOL

Imagine a maple tree on a tropical island... hmm... is it ever going to survive, grow new leaves, turn red, and shed again next year ?!?! We dun koe.


Maple tree with cranberry-red leaves. Estimated height- 2metres tall.


Coleus simply look like colourful lettuces. And they will grow fine without direct sun. Perfect for tis location.


The make-over corridor looking and smelling great now :)

We self-imposed a ban on our visiting nurseries again for undefined period of time.
