  1. Blossoms from the weeping cherry in my back yard. Covered in foraging bees but they were too fast for me. #cherry #cherries #flowers #tree #prunus #rosaceae #botany

  2. #JRRTolkien's novel The Two Towers employs #rowans as the signature tree for the Ent, #Quickbeam. The forest of #Fangorn, where Quickbeam & other Ents live, is populated with numerous rowans that were said to have been planted by male Ents to please the female #Entwives. Quickbeam declares his fondness for the tree by saying that no other "people of the Rose ... are so beautiful to me," a reference to the rowan's membership in the family #Rosaceae.

  3. I've never been that keen on cultured roses, but I do like the shape of this #cultivar (that came with the garden when I bought the house).

  4. From the Family #Rosaceae is this vibrant fruiting tree. These are eveywhere and displaying red, in abundance throughout our city at the moment.

    These are native to the Himalayas.

    This one however, is growing in the front yard of an #ormond home, #melbourne, #Australia.

    It’s been raining this morning so the fruit and green leaves are shining in the sun, that has just punched through the clouds.

    The red fruits (called pomes) appear in autumn, and hang about well into winter if not eaten by the hungry birds.

    Wonder what they taste like? 🤔

    Tho I’m not that game 😅

  5. I’m not even going to try to identity this one, as the ID app provided around a dozen possibilities.

    But the common theme is that it’s likely to be from the #Rosaceae (#rose) family. (EDIT; appears plenty of advice that this is likely a #Hawthorn of some sort 🤔, perhaps. Thanks for the comments 👏👍).

    The fruit on this is the size of the smallest blueberry you sometimes get in a punnet. Cute-as!

  6. Talk about some *sweet* findings!
