The challenge for this week’s #WildflowerHour on social media was to find as many tree flowers as possible. Here’s my contribution …

Ash, Birch (not sure which species), and Blackthorn

Cherry laurel (probably a garden escape) and Hawthorn

Field and Norway maples, plus I couldn’t resist adding an ornamental Cherry in to the mix, as they’re looking so gorgeous at the moment.

Goat willow, I think, female above and male below – Goat willows are dioecious, i.e. male and female flowers are on separate trees.
