yes I know there are thousands but you never know.
No more requests until I visit a garden on Wednesday - the stunning garden of David and Janet Ledsham. Fermi and Will have been there.

A lovely couple and a great visit, excellent garden - but then again, Mark, you didn't show us any duds! ;D
Please give them our regards,
cheers

Mark,
The first looks like a pseudoplatanus that is sold here in Aus as Acer esk 'Sunset', or Acer 'Esk Sunset'. Apparently named after the Esk valley in New Zealand. Apparently it is sold in some places incorrectly as Acer pseudoplatanus 'Eskimo Sunset'.
The other ones looks familiar, but I can't put a name to it.

Acer japonicum "Vitifolium" perhaps?

Pascal,
It certainly does look grape-like, doesn't it!!?

If Mark has time on his hands he can browse all the Acers on the site of this nursery, I am sure the ones he has are in it but the broader, more lobed leaflets are generally Acer japonicum and not palmatum.

Thanks everyone.
Fermi I'll be seeing all the garden owners next Saturday

Could the second one be Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' or 'Full Moon'. My 'Autumn Moon' looks similar to what you show, including the hot orangy-pink foliage color. Both varieties have nearly rounded many-lobed leaves.

On second thought, googling and looking at photos of Acer japonicum Vitifolium, I think maybe Pascal's suggestion is correct. It's a beautiful maple.
