Acer

Trying to find the name of this Acer tree I went to the official website of the garden
I lost count of the number of different Acer trees there are so I am leaving it up to you to find its proper name

THE POND

 The loud noise of the frogs and the comparatively large number of people round the pool attracted us to see what was going on.
The people were all trying to see the frogs and the frogs were making a great deal of noise and hiding.
There is a visible frog in the last photo.

Unfortunately for me, the two notices with information of the plant life in the pond  and frogs were both in Spanish.
