Green Female Conifer Cone (Pinecone) 雌の緑松笠(松ぼっくり)

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

They're male and female conifer cones or pine cones. The green ones are female while the brown ones in the 2nd photo are male. I've seen many pine cones, but they were all brown, and I've never thought about their sex. The matcha green female pine cones are so beautiful!

Pine has male and female trees, and they're mostly monoecious. Naturally, this pine tree should have male and female pine cones on the same tree and voila! I've found bigger female pine cones and smaller male ones side by side!!

Chocolate vine, which I wrote about yesterday, is also monoecious, and has male and female flowers on the same vine. And you know what? A chocolate vine female flower is also bigger than the male one😁!!

雄と雌の松ぼっくりです。松ぼっくりなんて今まで何度も見たことがありますが、緑のものは初めて。抹茶のような緑がとってもきれいです!

松って雌雄同株なんですね。よく見たら美しい抹茶緑の雌の後ろに雄の松ぼっくりがひっそりと佇んでました。。。

ちなみに昨日書いた木通(アケビ)も雌雄同株で、雌の花の方が大きいんです😁
