The European Larch is a conifer that can grow to 30 metres in height. It is monoecious: both male and female flowers are found on the same tree. Male flowers are small globular clusters of creamy yellow anthers. The female flowers at the tips of shoots are attractive, flower-like clusters of scales in bright pink. They are aptly named ‘larch roses’. They appear in March and April.

I always find tree flowers are so easy to miss. I’m busy looking for flowers on the ground and forget to look up!

Beautiful flower, especially so now as I can see only a white expanse of snow from inside and outside my house.

Indeed, and on such a rather mundane coniferous tree.
