Sorry, Blinky. I was getting impatient. You are next no matter what happens.
You can even have one of my saved-up turns.

Is that what happens when a Sirex wood wasp attacks a Styrax?

Or maybe this is what you were referencing:

Of course I meant Styrax!



Everyone knows that. I always drink coffee when I watch radar.

Say what?

 

[JeffL]

It's chionanthus!

Aww crap, nevermind, didn't notice the pink petals on the ground.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Jeff, you got it... The petals are from an adjacent tree. I thought that one would be harder!

[JeffL]

Oh sweet! Ok, lemme dig through the harddrive real quick.....

 

[JeffL]

[TMW]

Populus alba?

 

[JeffL]

[Waldo]

[TMW]

It was a good one, I am just very familiar with them. We had a bunch in Central Wisconsin.

Need to grab a bite and I'll post one later tonight...

 

[TMW]

Here is a shot of a tree that Chris Girard and I worked on last week. It was beat up pretty bad from the ice storm...

 

[JeffL]

Metasequoia?

 

[easyphloem]

If it's not a Metasequoia, it's a Quercus virginiana
