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.
