Meanwhile the wych elm fruits are out, all unfeasibly tightly packed onto the branches
And the coltsfoot is already turning to seed and look really beautiful when they're sprinkled with raindrops.
I took these photos along the Union Canal, in Edinburgh, last weekend.
just beautiful! love that last shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting tree the Wych Elm looks. Our Hawthorn is in full flower ... and I'm not sure I would have guessed that the 'watery' flower head was a Coltsfoot, though we saw quite a few on the mainland, opp. Ailsa Craig, so perhaps it is a flower that flourishes in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline, there's certainly lots of coltsfoot in and around Edinburgh, yes it does look very different at this stage compared to in full flower
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautiful flourish of spring green you've given us to admire here. Thank you. ♥
ReplyDeleteThese are some really beautiful photos. I especially love the one of the coltsfoot!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I like the way the hawthorn look as though they are in a line, about to follow their leaders.
ReplyDeleteSome of our hawthorn is only just coming into flower. I hope the rain forecast for this weekend doesn`t wreck all the blossom.
ReplyDeleteI do like the seeding coltsfoot photo.
Lovely flowers and photos! I love spring time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. They are all beauties, but the last shot is my favorite.
