Phenology excersize Geo-171-2014 Homework #3

Starting with the trees, the buckeye clearly hasn't been in leaf for very long with the new leaves not to their full size yet. This is good phenologic data in that the leaves are likely only a few days old. The willow is a good data point for both flower and leafs. The flowers are out but the leave buds have not yet opened.

Not knowing anything about the timing of fumitory I don't know if it is unusual for it to be flowering now. Sweet fennel I know flowers later in the year and wouldn't expect to see it flowering now.

What I am guessing is a walnut tree was the only species that I saw that was truly dormant, with no leaves or flowers. Another tree of the same type was nearby so I can also conclude that is wasn't dead.
