Flowering Maple Photo

Flowering maples are the plants that appear to be dwarf maple trees, except that they bear flowers that may be white, red, pale yellow or -- as in this picture of flowering maple -- pale orange. If you live in a cold climate, you'll have to keep flowering maple plant -- a sub-tropical specimen (planting zones 9-11) -- in a container, growing it outside in the summer, then moving it inside for the winter.
