Pine Cones in Bloom

The pinecones, just beginning to open and still in an immature state are beautiful, aren't they?

That picture is just beautiful with the still green, baby pinecones. They show up beautifully in their dark setting of pine.

...all is grace!

They look like little roses....so sweet.

So pretty. I've never seen this color cone before. Reminds me of rosebuds.

Yes, they are. Is this typically the time of year when pine cones bloom? Since we've had to become so fire wise here in northern California, many pine trees have been removed because they burn hot and fast. So sad.

So glad you posted this. In my long life I have never seen this.

Gorgeous!! These are especially beautiful with the contrasting color. Our Blue Spruces get tiny, deep pink pinecones in their early stages of growth. SO PRETTY!!!

Thank you everyone for commenting on this lovely photo. I have pinecones on my property that sometimes fall unopened but they are always brown. I have never seen them in a green state. I recently read somewhere that it takes 7 years for pinecones to form. They are a treasure. I am enjoying a lazy rainy Sunday.
