From flower to cone - the larch tree through the year
The best thing about studying a larch tree for Tree Following this year has been discovering the beautiful little flowers (which I had never noticed before!) and observing them as they gradually change into cones. I've used photos of different flowers / cones in some instances, but they still give a nice idea of the development.

This has been a fascinating study and I'll certainly pay more attention to larch trees in the future! It's also been fascinating to follow the other trees that participants have chosen. Thanks to Lucy at Loose and Leafy for organising Tree Following.
For Tree Following and Nature Notes.
it's a beauty in every stage.
ReplyDeleteHow fun this is to see the whole year at once ... and it is a really beautiful tree. I can't follow one tree all year because of travel) but I enjoy following you following your tree! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNature at its best!xx
ReplyDeleteI've never noticed Larch flowers either Juliet. It's amazing what you see when you look closely isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty tree and I like the flowers and the cones.. Enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteBeen fun to follow!
ReplyDeleteFascinating! Observation is an important element in etegami, but this goes to show that observation is best when it's not just a one-time thing, but rather done patiently over a long period.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! The flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen that before. Time to stop and stare next year at the beauty of the larch tree. One of my favourites is the lime tree with heart shaped leaves and yellow blossom.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Shagrat - i love lme trees, specially when they're in flower (all too briefly) - the scent is amazing....
