RHH's photos with the keyword: growth

The four photos here, this and three insets, are all of spring growth on trees including flowers, seeds and catkins. These are the flowers of a Norway Maple, not a native tree, but I do not know what trees the others represent, however, and have neither the resources nor opportunity to try to identify them, since they were all photographed in Michigan and we, of course, live in Washington. In fact, I am not home now but in western Washington and have to lead a field trip a little later today for the Washington Native Plant Society. If anyone recognizes these trees I would appreciate the help.

These are the flowers or seeds of a tree, but I do not know which tree. They were photographed in Millennium Park along the Grand River in Michigan. I do not even know if they are a native tree but would assume so and would appreciate any help in identifying them.

These are the flowers or seeds of a tree which I believe to be the Box Elder. They were photographed in Millennium Park along the Grand River in Michigan. I do not even know if they are a native tree but would assume so.

These are, I believe, Willow catkins, but I do not know which Willow they represent. They were photographed in Michigan in Millennium Park along the Grand River southwest of Grand Rapids.

We thought these new growths on some of the trees in the local park were most unusual and worthy of being photographed. My sixteen year old son with whom I often go out photographing took this photo.

Taken early last spring in Wallace Falls State Park in the North Cascades. This has been identified as Red Huckleberry, Vaccinium parvifolium by Fizgig. Thanks! ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/04/wallace-fal...
