May 16 maple update

The maple bud we've been following, as of this morning.





Close up of some of its newer leaves.





Here's what's left of the bud itself.






Here's the bud one farther up the tree from our terminal bud.






Size of the leaves resulting from our terminal bud.





Seeds from the same branch as our bud, but closer to the trunk. Note that they still have flower petals draped over them.

Interesting how the wings are growing apace but the seeds themselves are still very flat.
