Description

Ann and I saw this bush up at Snoqualmie Falls, and neither of us had any idea what it was. For Ann to be stumped is quite unusual! I promised her I'd ask you guys and see if anybody knew. Each little flower is maybe 1/2 an inch or less (about 1cm) and the whole cluster can't be more than 2 inches across. I made sure there's nothing in the shot to confuse possibile identification. The leaves and branches are all part of the same plant. The dof is a bit more artistic than I would have liked, but the bark is relatively smooth, if that helps. Thanks! :)

Not a clue, but trees are not my thing, but I will take a copy to the flower show I'm at next week and see if anyone can ID it.

It's Witch hazel after the little 'streamers' have gone! The calyx persists for ages. Now you 'mention' it, I 've never noticed fruits!

I have no idea what this is, but I wonder what eats it. Ah, so typical of me! Great on all levels. I like the details here. I've never seen anything like this and your up-close-and-personal POV is great. Fantastic work, as always.
