#Wildflowerhour #treeflowers The recessing sepals on these blooms suggest to me that this is Prunus cerasifera, Cherry Plum. This small tree was growing on the rural verge of the A466 near Monmouth.

Clusters of Hawthorn flower buds above fresh green leaves. Field & lane boundary trees in background

Clusters of Cornus sanguinea Dogwood flowerbuds at centre of bright green ribbed leaves

A photograph showing a group of long male Alder Tree catkins that are a wine-red colour, hanging from a small branch. A few smaller female catkins are seen behind the main group swell as some old tree fruits. These small, woody, cone-like fruit structures turn dark brown or black in the autumn, often remaining on the tree through winter. The photograph was taken on a bright but breezy day, the background is grey/blue from a cloudy sky. England, UK

One for #WildflowerHour #treeflowers challenge: So many to choose but it was the beautiful elongated wine red male catkins from this Alder tree that impressed me... almost ready to turn yellow and release its pollen! 📷 🌿

Happy new week everyone! 🕊️

Male goat willow catkins

Good morning ☕️🌾
Male goat willow #catkins support lots of different types of wildlife particularly in late spring/early summer, providing food and shelter and also nesting material. I think their furry appearance is quite adorable 🥰

I'm going early for #treeflowers with Blackthorn as the Lancashire weather today was a 'Blackthorn Winter' which is when Blackthorn is blossoming in spring and snow returns!

Things - and @wildflowerhour.bsky.social - are looking up this week.

The weekly #wildflowerhour challenge is to find, photograph, and share some #treeflowers on Sunday evening at 8-9pm.

We wood! And so should you.

A Coral Tree. Spectacular red flowers on bare branches

It's a good one: wild and naturalised #treeflowers for this Sunday's #wildflowerhour

Going to dig out my pocket tree ID flip chart too 🤓

Sometimes when we are botanising we can forget to look up! Which would be a shame as #treeflowers are both fascinating & beautiful! This week’s challenge is to go looking for wild & naturalised trees that are blooming. Share your finds for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm!

A 25 foot mimosa tree hanging over three wires. The tree has frond-like leaves and bright pink flower clusters

A close-up of a Mimosa tree flower cluster with three pink flowers that look like wispy fans and the small green circular bud clusters on the ends of slim green stalks

It’s non-native and can be invasive, but I planted this Mimosa tree when my daughter turned 1; it’s grown with her for 20 years. Pretty, pink, perfumes the whole block and shades the entire SE side of our house significantly lowering AC/electricity use in the summer #naturalshade 🌱 #treeflowers

A group of the tiny, four petaled flowers of Alder Buckthorn on petioles emerging from the leaf axils on a branch. Some green leaves are above.

A close-up photo of the stiffly erect conical to cylindrical panicle of horse chestnut made up of several white flowers with deep pink blotches at the base of the petals and many filaments and anthers emerging from the flowers. There are groups of 5-7 horse chestnut leaflets in the background with an arable field visible to the horizon.

A photograph of a "mystery" flower. It is a chocolate red and comes from a flowering tree.

Puzzle Time! This flower comes from a tree in our front yard. Not very popular in the US, but well known in the Philly region. Figure it out? No, it's not made by Hersey even though it looks so chocolate-y.

Main route into south Kendal. A tree-lined road with hundreds of thousands of cherry tree flowers.

An apple tree of the vivid Pinks and greens you’d expect at a carnival - but here in our garden…
