Blo-Ma: alder




A different kind of flowers this week:
these are alder flowers (male flowers).
The hard cone-like structures are
last year's fruits.

I'm linking to Blo-Ma.

    Vackra bilder på alens hängen och kottar. Inte ofta man tar sig tid att studera detta träd så ingående.
    Ha det gott!

      Tack Charlotta! De är väl för vanliga antar jag, men riktigt intressanta ändå.

    Yes Gunilla you are right. I know from bitter experience that alder cones are virttually indestructible, yet finches, especially redpolls love them.
