Mark,I think the words mean 'dance of the butterflies' which is more than fitting. I bought one a few years ago and was lucky enough to have two of them in the same pot!
What a beauty! Glad you managed to hunt it down
What a lovely name greentapestry!
how beautiful mark. How big does it grow?
3 x 3 feet in 10 years!
I've not seen that one before, did you have to buy it from a specialists nursery?
Greentapestry -
It would be "Dance of the Butterflies" if it were spelled "Kocho no Mai", or even better, "Chocho no Mai"
but with this spelling, all I can think of is "Dance of the Maidens"
I would tend to think you're right but the spelling is wrong.
This may or may not be the description of the plant we're discussing.
Acer palmatum:
"Butterfly" Kocho nishiki or Kocho no mai ~~~ One of the more popular variegated forms, this tree will have leaves streaked with irregular blotches of white. A small, fine textured tree, it will reach 9’-12’ tall.
Waddaya think?

Ahh..., wait..., this is better:

And at least bears a glancing resemblence to the pics Mark posted.

thats my tree but I think he has taken off the lower branches. I know hwere there is one almost fully grown so I'll ask if I can take a photo.
that is so beautiful, might keep an eye open for one,just the right size for my garden.
hi, guess what, I just happened to walk past one,or one that looks very similar, with an equally unpronouncible name.I couldn't resist it. It now sits in a pot on the patio.
that's your fault for making me spend some money!!....
well just proves what taste I have and that it can rub off. I bought another Kojo today to plant beside my Betula jacquemontii.
tell us the name is pretty please
