Joydie, there is a new variety or at least this last summer was the first time I saw them. They have wide open blooms similar to the orange one in Hibiscus's picture. They are called Flowering maple 'Bella' and are a compact plant that is 14 to 16 inches tall. They are 3 inch wide flared flowers and are heavy blomers. I just love them.

I also have the older varieties with the flowers that are more closed. I have a yellow one that must be 15 years old and the diameter of the trunk is at least 6 inches. It is very tall............ as tall as my old apple tree. I also have a big pink one. I love them for they grow and flower in much shade.
