Media Aren't they cool? Pine roses.

Well I don't really know what kind of pine comb they are, but they were awesome when I first found them hanging on the foliage tips of and unknown pine.
Ever seen these guys before?

These guys are smaller than the tip of my pinky finger.

The correct name is Pine Cone..you had it correct in the other thread...don't usually correct spelling, surreal..but in this case, I don't believe you have a handle on the pronunciation..

I have seen pics of those in magazines, but not in the real world...they are from the northern areas...not the deep south.

I believe that these are hemlock cones--probably eastern hemlock. I read that eastern hemlock is the official state tree of Pennsylvania!

I believe you are right, and I stand corrected!

Thanks Angela! You know you can come out anytime and stay a while teaching me about the tress!
I have a lot to learn and remember after Torrance CA for 20 years

Bovon, I knew they were pine cones but they were so tiny and delicate, and looking at them straight on and the way they opened they looked like little tan paper roses.

I'd love to come out to your neck of the woods, Surreal! I miss the weather (especially the rain!) and the woods--well, maybe I don't miss the mosquitoes!

As far as trees are concerned, I'd have to take a crash refresher course. I used to live in Vermont (and I grew up in Atlanta), and I was really interested in the trees and learned quite a bit about them. Now, however, I remember very little; it's been over 26 years since I spent any time back there! I almost can't believe I've been in San Diego for over 23 years--and this from a person who initially declared that she'd never be able to live here for more than 2-3 years, tops! Life is sure full of surprises!

Those hemlocks are sure gorgeous, aren't they--and I agree with you, those little cones are just lovely!
