Spring of Royal Botanic Gardens KEW

Kew Garden in England is located between Heathrow Airport and City of London,
situated on the south bank of the River Thames near Richmond, about 10km south-west of London.

I could visit Kew Garden on April 2004. It was in the beginning of spring,
and was the time when many trees began sprouting up and flowering.

I could see many kinds of maples, many of them were flowering.
There were some species that I had never known or seen yet.

It was too early to observe their leaves.
There were many species whose flowers showed yellow or greenish yellow color exept Japanese maples.
