Song, I found you!!! So happy to see the project underway.

I am beyond impressed with the way it is looking. You have really made it into an outside room. My back hurts from thinking about laying those stones.

We bought a nice JM Autumn Moon at Baystate Perennials in Whately, near Deerfield, recently, but they only had a couple for 90.00. I have been looking for some special ones in nurseries all over New England and keep finding the same ones too. I saw a 'shirazz' and a coral bark one, both very nice but pricey. I would think the best place to see some might be Sylvans in Westport, Ma, near New Bedford. I bought all our initial trees and shrubs from them in the early 80's. They are a great nursery. They use to do wholesale only. I need to go there this summer as I haven't been in a few years. It is huge, but very orderly. But Victor knows far better than I about finding JM.

Here is a collage which includes a picture of our little Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon'

Again I must thank you for all your help getting my stream in place. We love it. We went to Garden in the Woods recently and also to their propagation farm in Whately for a truck load of special plants to use the stream area. It is starting to look more natural. Patti
