Today is #oakappleday (aka #RoyalOakDay) which marks the return of King Charles II to the throne in 1660 after fleeing and seeking refuge in an oak tree. Here is a particularly attractive oak apple (a #gall caused by the oak apple gall wasp, Biorhiza pallida) that I have spotted recently
A group of oak apples among some oak leaves. The foreground gall has a fly exit hole.
Apparently, today is #OakAppleDay (aka #RoyalOakDay)
Did you know that today is #OakAppleDay π³
The celebration marks the return of King Charles II to the throne in 1660 after fleeing and seeking refuge in an oak tree at Boscobel House in Staffordshire, ending the Puritan Commonwealth.
π #OTD in #History 29 May 1660, on his 30th birthday, #CharlesII returned to London from exile in the Netherlands to claim the English throne after the republican Puritan Commonwealth came to an end. Traditionally celebrated as #OakAppleDay or #RoyalOakDay.
May 29th is #OakAppleDay, Charles II's 1660 Restoration
Soulton's 1668 door celebrates this peace. In 2025, "restoration" echoes climate & biodiversity challenges
Decorating with oak boughs now invites *natural* restoration this time under CiiiR
