Album 845: College Station, Texas, March 19 - 23, 2010

The image shows a close-up view of winged fruits from an elm tree.

The elm tree is represented by four winged fruits dangling at different levels on a brownish-red branch against a black background. The leaves are absent, so there is no doubt that these are "winged" fruits (samara). These samaras have two distinct parts: the body of the fruit and the wings attached to it. The wings are small and thin, with long hairs along their edges. Each wing features a central vein running down its length, while the rest of the structure is hairless. The brownish-red coloration on the branch suggests that the samaras may be either ripe or dry.

The image was taken in the TAMU Horticultural Gardens in Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, on March 22, 2010. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Frutos con alas (samara) de olmo (Ulmus) en los Jardines Hortícolas TAMU en la Universidad de Texas A y M. Estación de College, Texas, el 22 de marzo de 2010. La imagen muestra una vista detallada de frutos con alas de un árbol de olmo. El árbol de olmo está representado por cuatro frutos con alas que cuelgan a diferentes niveles en una rama marronácea-rojiza sobre un fondo negro. Las hojas están ausentes, por lo que no hay duda de que se trata de frutos "con alas" (samara). Estas samaras tienen dos partes distintas: el cuerpo del fruto y las alas unidas a él. Las alas son pequeñas y finas, con largos pelos a lo largo de sus bordes. Cada ala tiene una vena central que discurre por su longitud, mientras que el resto de la estructura está sin pelo. La coloración marronácea-rojiza en la rama sugiere que las samaras pueden estar maduras o secas. La imagen fue tomada en los Jardines Hortícolas TAMU en la Universidad de Texas A&M, Estación College, Texas, el 22 de marzo de 2010. – Spanish translation
