Well, here we are for the June tree-following get-together. Welcome to our regular tree enthusiasts – and I hope more newcomers will follow the example of last month’s new joiner, Heather of Tales from an Edwardian Garden with her black mulberry.
Summer is here in the northern hemisphere, although you might not believe it for all the rain we have had in South Wales recently. At least it was gloriously sunny for the two bank holidays for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Hopefully I can dodge the showers at some time in the next week to make my monthly visit the tall tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) in Cardiff’s Victoria Park.
I wonder what all you regular tree followers are up to? I’m sure you will have something new to report. Point to any tree-related post you would like to share, using the link box below. And please don’t forget to leave a comment.
The link box is now open for contributions and will stay open until 7pm GMT on June 14.
If you are new to tree following, read all about the idea here, although I appreciate that I must update that page when I have the chance!
The oak leaves against that sky, just fabulous! I always love the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, differences between the varieties of oak trees. I’ve branched out a bit in my post this time (excuse the pun) and included a poem I wrote about trees and their place in myth, nature and healing. Spending time with trees is good for the soul. There’s an update on the mulberry too, happily doing its thing in its pot.
Lovely images – and a brilliant poem!
Thank you for joining us – I look forward to more from you.
All the best π
Lovely photo of the oak tree! I’ve posted links to my updates for June and for May (which I had overlooked posting until towards the end of the month). I’m currently having difficulty leaving comments on some Blogger blogs (despite being on Blogger myself) but I do visit all the other participants, even if I can’t comment!
Thank you for the double dose of cherry. Best not to miss the most magnificent blossom time!
Great tree, lovely setting.
Speak again soon π
Hello Pat, this month I wandered afar and visited a tree I had hoped to “see” five years ago. Best wishes and thanks once again.
What a brilliant post – and an excellent glimpse of the remarkable contents of the museum.
I recall your earlier post about the Wyoming palm and I am so glad you found a kindred spirit to be your museum guide.
All the best π
Summer has finally reached us up in the north, making leaves reappear on the trees. Although so far the summer weather leaves room for improvement here too…
Lovely images – and a few almost “alpine” plants I had not seen before.
Best wishes π
The recent rain seems to have helped my tree very much – it had been a bit dry until then. Thanks again for hosting treefollowing
I don’t seem to be able to put a comment on your blog post at the moment – maybe I left it too late…
Anyway, fingers crossed for the quincelets.
I saw some wall paint called “quince” in a weekend colour supplement the other day and I could see why. The exact yellowy green shade.
All the best π
