"A walnut #tree produces #flowers of one sex, then the other in the same season, but trees differ in which one comes first. Individual trees are consistently male-first or female-first in flowering."

For a change from snowy views I decided to look at some of the *many* photos and videos I have from #summer that have not been edited/posted!
From #July : a not common #wildflower here-not flashy but hey it's #green and #flowering ! Sanicula marilandica a plant in the #Apiaceae or #Umbellifer Family (carrots, parsley, celery etc). They were in a spot I'd seen them before but not for a few years so I was excited! #biodiversity #NativePlants #Alberta #BloomScrolling #nature

partial view of a green plant against green foliage of other plants and some dried grass stems. The plant has compound leaves composed of 5-7 narrow, toothed leaflets all radiating from a single point. It is topped with ball-like clusters of tiny greenish white flowers, some of the clusters have a fuzzy look from the stamens poking out, others may be tidier with female flowers?
