This morning I had three different plants blooming with split flowers. These plants are from systems known to carry the maple and maple-willow gene.

As you will see, not all plants with these characteristics have flowers that anyone would care to look at long.... however, when I get a plant that produces good confirmation flowers, it is worth the effort involved.

This first plant is a very strong maple plant, with leaves with five narrow fingers. This plant is over eleven feet tall and still going... The edges of the leaves are rolled also. The edges of the split elements have really nice tendrils.
