Blame the Alder
My wife started sneezing this week and cursing the start of the pollen season. I told her it's the Red Alder trees, blame them. In looking at the alder catkins today, some of them when touched are bursting yellow pollen and my deck has a yellow hue to it from the pollen accumulation. It's a nasty tree for allergy sufferers and the peak of the pollination goes on for several weeks, just in time for all the other trees that start pollination. Grizzly

Still, they are quite colourful. Maybe I feel that way because I don't have allergies. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI enjoy them too, but same thing I don't have the allergy problem. Grizzly
