Imagine my surprise at finding new leaves in the middle of our Pennsylvania winter. Nestled in a well sheltered hollow with a good southern exposure, I found these tiny leaves growing on a Multiflora Rose.
Multiflora Rose, once recommended for planting as a living cattle fence and also used as crash barriers in the medians of divided highways, is now considered a noxious invasive alien plant species.
Although the Multiflora Rose has fallen from favor, I enjoyed finding this token of the season of new life just around the corner.

Love this shot and its funny because I posted signs of spring on my site too.
I like the Multiflora Rose too.
When clicked this shot really opens up. Those leave are stunning, the textures and the red tips really stand out.. Another great Country Capture... I do wish I'd thought up this title. ;o)
How well I remember the Multiflora Rose. I planted them as a hedge some 50 years ago and within ten years dug them out and that wasn't easy either. A nightmare.
I posted a piece on the Chipmunk and how I used to get close to wildlife that might interest you.
Oh HOW EXCITING!! This is a welcome sight!!!!
Beautiful nature capture. I think that these simple suprises make the most beautiful captures;-)
