Male flowers of Silver Maple, St Nicholas Park, Warwick
Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) was introduced to Britain from North America in 1725. It grows fast to make a tall tree that can take its place among natives and ornamentals in parks and streets. The leaves have silvery undersides, seen when a breeze lifts them, but the flowers appear before the leaves open. The pink bits are the filaments of the stamens, looking rather soggy on a damp late-March day.
