Recently found my Japanese maple had flowers. This the first time I have seen, or heard of maples flowering. I guess this is nothing new or unusual but I thought I would share with you guys anyway.
Maple is Acer palmatum Atropurpureum.

Re: flowering maple
Nice, and yes mate. All sort of maples do flowers. I've got flowers on Acer ginnala Flame maples, taiwanese maples...
Edit: let them seed and you'll have hundress of seedlings next years.
Cheers,
DK

Re: flowering maple
funny, i considered starting a thread about this the other day, i was suprised to see my taiwanese trident flower and then seed, especially up here in queensland! over about a 3 week period it went from, it's leafless stage in week one, then about a week later it was flowering and the following week it had produced seeds, i did take some photos but i won't bother posting them as the flowers are much the same as you see in the pics above!

Re: flowering maple
Still want pics! 
The maples are such a nice tree. I especially like the multi colour leafed tree or when there grouped together in there different colours.
