Maple flowers
Maples are angiosperms, flowering plants, and these are the flowers of a maple tree. You'll miss them if you don't watch carefully during the last few days of April and early May, just before the trees go into leaf. The fact that these flowers open before the photosynthetic leaves is evidence of one way that abundant maple sap is used in the spring...to fuel processes that require nutrients.
