By now these buds will be fully open and the sapling will no doubt be awash with leaves. I am not 100% certain but I think these are Sycamore buds. (If you know for sure please let me know in the comments).
I love the shape of these buds and the way the green and red scales open out as the leaf emerges in a blush of colour. There is so much detail in the newly forming leaf, it is quite amazing when you look closely at it. Looking at the second image it looks a bit like marine life, a shrimp or a barnacle perhaps. Or is that just my imagination?
