Here it is:
http://i19.tinypic.com/6biwv3d.jpg[/IMG] Have just been down the lane and seen that my daughter's neighbour has a lovely L.nitida hedge which is the plain dark green. I'd forgotten all about it. It must be 12' long and 5' high, I should think. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Nice pic. Could you get a picture of your neighbours hedge? I have hedges of Lonicera at work to look after but none are Baggessen gold. |

Presumably you then take your collections home and put them under a microscope. What a fascinating sight. I had to go and look these two up and saw that the start/finish is thought to have coincided with the impact of a large extra-terrestrial body. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I also often find the pollen of Tilia, Juglans, Carya, Alnus and Betula in the same samples. Graham What are you doing when you find them, Graham? Are you a fossil collector? I'm a palaeontologist/geologist specialising in fossilized spores, pollen and microplankton. I use them to determine the age and environment of deposition of the rocks and sometimes the level to which the rock has been heated. Most of my work is for oil companies and the pollen grain came from a well in the Mackenzie Delta at depth of about 600m. Presumably you then take your collections home and put them under a microscope. After lab processing involving some very nasty acids. What a fascinating sight. It can be but, like most of life, most of the material is uninteresting. I tend to look at the pollen grains in an abstract sort of way but it is nice to relate them to modern plants when possible.
