Look Mama


Look Mama, originally uploaded by McGillicutty1.

OK all you wonderful arborists (I guess that's not a word) tree fanatics... what the heck is this? I know it comes from the magnolia tree but can't quite fathom what it is exactly.

Ash found a million of them and insisted on bringing them home... they're really neat, like furry leaves.

Answers in the comments please..... 'preciate it.

Not trying to be funny here, but, at first I thought she was holding a hamster! We have those trees here at work and I believe that it is a single outer petal, one of many, that protects the blossoms before they open. I can't remember from my botany class years ago what that outer petal is called.

i agree with conny - it's the outer petal

but that sure is a beautiful portrait with her wonderful smile.
