Description
A trio of brown pine cones on a green background for the holidays, with wording Wish You a Happy Holiday Season.
Pine cones are thought of as the ova of certain conifers or pine trees. Being the ova, it is female. The male cones are much smaller in size and is what produces the pollen for the trees. The cone shape comes from the geometric shape of the cone overall. The individual plates of the cones are known as scales.
When fertilized by pollen from the male cones, seeds begin to grow in the female cones. The most common cones you see are not the type to produce edible pine nuts.
The artist, Mary Deal, is also an award-winning author of mystery/thrillers, a short story collection and writers' reference books. Read about it here:
