| Tilia cordata Little-leaf basswood Small-leaved linden Lime tree |
Jody's daughter was doing a project on trees and spent some time in my woods finding different ashes, beech, and striped maple. She also wanted linden, but I only knew of one at the animal shelter in Orleans. But this linden is not native. It does, however, bring to mind all of the lime trees in the British novels that I love.
There is also a storm coming in, which justifies this for Skywatch Friday. 😉
To learn more about this tree, go to gobotany,
my favorite flora ID site.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn.
DeleteI love linden tea :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I've heard of linden tea. It's from this tree? amazing.
DeleteBeautiful tree and angry sky. Love to see that sky if it delivers some much needed rain.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
We have several streets in the area that have lindens and our local small city has a Linden Street. I love the scent of their small flowers. Nice dramatic sky capture.
ReplyDeleteAn ominous-looking sky and a lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very dramatic sky for your tree.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the breeze pick up as the dark clouds gather for the storm. Wonderful photo - I'm not familiar with Linden trees.
ReplyDelete...and in June its flowers have a sweet scent.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the sky and the Linden tree ~ Xo

We first discovered the Linden tree when we lived in our apt. They are such beautiful trees!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dark and stormy looking sky! I hope you had some good rainfall.
ReplyDeleteThat tree looks so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow leafy and green. The Linden tree has inspired several songs.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, that's one cool stormy sky!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I remember doing a leaf collection as a school girl, and my mother helped me by driving me to different parks.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty tree and it does look like a big storm was a-brewing.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful clouds.
ReplyDeleteIt's sunny skies in Florida today. But it is still spooky. Happy Halloween!
