Ash flowers

We have loads of ash trees in this area.  You can recognise them by the knobbly bits on their bare twigs.


 These are actually the flowers, which as with so many trees, don't have petals.


Like Pussy Willow, the male flowers drop off on to the ground while the female flowers stay on the tree and develop into the seed-bearing ash keys.
