The Challenge: Collect cones and compare them in your nature journal. See if you can find the seeds inside the cone.
The weather has been snowy and cold.
Too cold to venture out for a nature walk.
We had a small window in which to dig up these cones.
When we found the cones they were completely closed.
We could not look for the seeds.
But within a couple days they began to open.
As they opened the needles began to fall off of our twig.
We are still unsure of there names.
Those are really big skinny cones. I think it was your family that studied the Eastern White Pine...could they be from that? The needles look more like a fir to me....not sure.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your diligence in getting outdoors to dig up the cones. :)
