Here are some photographs taken by Randal Mindell during a Friends of the Garden Walk n' Learn on Wednesday morning, January 28. I invited Randal along since he needed to become familiar with the new camera as part of his main job.
Although it was a cold morning, we had a look at the following buds: Ruscus hypoglossum, brussel sprouts, Petasites albus (just emerging from the ground!), Cladrastis kentukea, Quercus macrocarpa, Sorbus decora, Aesculus octandra, Quercus garryana, Acer pensylvanicum, Fraxinus americana 'Royal Purple', Rhus typhina and Cornus kousa.
Acer pensylvanicum: note the stalked buds, typical of the snakebark maples.
Aesculus octandra: just plain cool.
Cornus kousa: these buds are described as turbinate -- wonder why?
Fraxinus americana 'Royal Purple': in the second photograph, note how the branches flatten at the buds.
Rhus typhina:
