The Living Forest (286) : Norway spruce cones
In the forest, the cones of conifers are half-ripe at the moment.
My shot shows the reddish-green cones of a Norway spruce.
At the end of summer they will be full ripe and adorn the spruces in brown regalia (see picture below).
The Norway spruce is a large and majestic evergreen coniferous tree.
Its beautiful cones contain seeds which are a basic food for squirrels and birds like woodpeckers and crossbills.
