Kent cob nut flower ..... for Dawn .......

Oh yes!! Great Amy. Havent you ever noticed them before like I?
That's one nut then, lets hope we get lots this year.

That's a good one Amy, hope you have got lots more. They are a bit difficult to find aren't they?

Oh ! is that all I'm getting .. 1 nut ..LOL... I couldn't see anymore flowers , I would never have noticed this without you showing yours Dawn .
Very difficult to see Dr.bob .. it had never occurred to me to look ..... this tree is normally loaded with lovely cob nuts , it's a battle to see who gets them first , usually the squirrels .. .. If I only have one nut this year he can have it :o))

Those squirrels get ours too Amy, we normally just find the shells.
Without you Bob, we would never have never known about the flowers.
I still cant see flowers on the alder trees though, Pam said they have similar flowers next to catkins.

Hi Dawn , I have several hazel nut trees in the hedging but they are so high up amongst the holly that I cant see them close to ,, when the squirrels have finished there it's like walking on a carpet of shells ... ..

Little rascals. As long as we get some peaches Amy, we'll be happy.

Me to Dawn , I'm worried that my peach tree was pruned to hard last year , I shall be sad if it dosn't produce any peaches , they were so nice last year ....

How are your flocks ? I put my plants in the garden in the autumn , they are beginning to shoot up already :o)

Hi Amy, I looked for mine the other day as leaves had fallen where I set them and remarkably they are OK. I still have lots more in the cold frame so I'll give it another week for the weather to improve and I'll plant them out. I cant wait to see them flower - what month do they flower Amy, I cant remember. I do remember you saying how you've seen them in the field for a long time, it was so good of you to collect the seeds and share with me.

Hi Dawn , it was the 8th of June when I took the photos , I've checked the date on my blog .. ' A walk on the wild side ' ... if you need a reminder as to what they looked like ..:o))

I'd love to see them again, I'll pop over now Amy :-)
