Aww, cute is definitely the right word for the little ones, isn't it? I love the colour on yours - what a lovely lime/yellow!
24th June 2021 and my Aureum has enjoyed the cooler wetter weather of the last two weeks. It is now giving a lovely show this morning.
4th July 2021 and my Aureum is loving this weather here in England this year. I wonder if that means a good Autumn show as well as these colours now.

18th August 2021 and I'm living the colours this year on my Aureum, it really has enjoyed this Summer weather. Rather more than me tbh, lol.
Mine is in its second year after I bought it, and I keep it mainly in the shade. Like many of my Acers, I think it's beginning to show some form of chlorosis. It's growing well though, and I'll repot it in a larger pot next spring. But I must buy some chelated iron...
Since mine is still young and was in a not so good shape when I bought it last year, I've kept it under the shade of big trees. The leaves are still green :
