it's a nice one: Acer griseum (Paper-bark Maple), Cruikshank botanical gardens (behind Zoo Building) ...my second home. For years I thought it was a kind of Tibetan Cherry, nope - wrong genus and it's from central China. In Pinyin, should you want to speak to Chinese person about the tree or buy one out there, it's xuè pí. Taken with the Nokia N95 on the way into work on Wednesday morning in bright sunshine (nothing lasts does it?)
