First Sycamore Leaf of 2014

Back in mid-February, I cut some twigs from the trees around our house and posted some photographs of the buds. The sycamore twig was not very interesting so I didn’t include a photograph of its bud but I kept the twig in my collection and kept water in the cups. A few days I took a look at the basket and noticed that the sycamore twig had a tiny leaf!

And there is another bud that looks about ready to burst open too!

We’ve had such cold weather recently that the sycamore buds outside are still in their winter forms so this little green leaf indoors is way ahead of the tree.
