Trifoliate Maples

[booter]

I'm a big fan of these small maples native to Asia though some are difficult to find in the states as they have very low seed viability. Here are some shots from two I have in the yard.

Acer mandshuricum (Manchurian maple)
200 AF micro f5.6 stack of 3


flowering
105 AI-S micro f4 at f4


Acer triflorum (Three flowered maple)
105+105 Nikkor-P stacked normal orientation at f5.6


fresh foliage
105 at f4


and the bark 105 f4


I have been very happy with the stacked 105's which I read about at Bjørn Rørslett's website. The range is limited but the results very sharp.
