Corkscrew Hazel

Some of the catkins on my Corkscrew Hazel bush are opening as are the flowers.

I brought one piece indoors to take some close shots.
The crimson flowers are minute as can be seen here:

There are several flowers in each bud.

    1. Adrian. Thank you. I've spent a bit of time fiddling with the coding so it now takes a photo every 0.5mm. Easier to estimate how many shots are needed. Been trying the 30 day free trial of Helicon Focus. It's fast and gives slightly better results but is that worth the $200 pro lifetime licence?

  2. Super photos :) My friend had one of those in her garden (before she moved) and they really are lovely trees.
