Corylus avellana 'Contorta'

Good afternoon GTers! The #hazel tree #catkins are looking good at the moment! This is one of the images in my weekly photo #blog which you can see at the following link if you're interested - www.bigemrg.co.uk/blog/latest Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! 😀 #catkin

Fabulous pictures on your blog Ian - love the lupin with water droplets. 😍

@lilybee - Thanks very much Sue! I'll be uploading that Lupin photo here in due course! I love how the raindrops attach themselves to the edges of the leaves! 😀

Our catkins are going over now😟 but plenty of pea and bean sticks to cut🤙🏻

@kathy - Both mine and my dad's Hazel catkins came out at the same time last week! My tree is only tiny and produced them for the first time this year! I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get a few nuts in the autumn! 😀

I like the feel of them😊

@bigemrg another cracking shot. Would you like us to add it to our email newsletter? 😀

@kathy - Ooh I've never tried touching them Kathy! Must give it a try! 😀

@ukjohnny - Thanks very much John! 😀

@ukgardentags - Thanks guys, yes please! 😀
