I shot this pine blossum last spring and found it while cleaning up the old hard drive. Since it is foofy day....

Pinus contorta is the scientific name for the common Lodgepole Pine, also known as Tamarack Pine.

Wow, now I live in an area of Oregon, that is just filled with Pine trees and Evergreens, but I have never seen "pine blossoms"
That's just amazing. I love the way the pine needles are "fanning" out..this is a unique shot Don, I like it a lot. Verena

Very unusual flower this, Don. Never seen anything like it. Very good clarity and colours.

As usual one can always be sure to learn something from a Don shot. Had no idea that Pine bloomed. Good one, thanks for the post.

What strikes me is how much this reminds me of a cactus! lol Such a pretty flower. Nice colors in the shot and I have never seen the likes of such a fine plant.

So interesting that your have captured a beautiful image of what many would not even think twice about. Evergreens often have some very beautiful blooms or other manifestations that are overlooked!
