Flora and Fauna Friday this week is the second part of my posts on the Common Hazel (Corylus avellana).
Last week my post was about the male Common Hazel catkins that produce the pollen to fertilise the female flowers.
This week my post is about the female flowers. The flowers are tiny, the entire bud in this photo is approximately the size of the head of a match. The red styles that form the visible part of the flower are 1 to 3 mm long.

Beautiful! I’m utterly amazed at the clarity and detail of this beautiful shot of such a tiny bit of nature.
Thanks. I was using a high magnification macro lens and a close up flashes that mounted on the lens.
