Amary Pattern
A real pattern? Have I found another real pattern?
I found these leaves when I was picking up Hannah from school. A maple tree in the schoolyard. We don't get many maple trees around here. Only garden ones - not native.I figure this is a breaking the repetition pattern.

Goregeous! Yes, both are patterns, real patterns, patterns with variation, excellent. It's a sweetgum, though, and not a maple! Liquidambar styraciflua.
Oh liquidambar styraciflua!!! Well I never. Is it not even a relation to a maple? Did you have to look that up or did you know it by heart?
NO, not related to a maple, but it does LOOK like a maple. Maples have opposite branching and Sweet gums have alternate.
I took semesters of Dendrology at the College of Forestry. But that was 40 years ago, so I don't remember it all.
the look a LOT alike, but are not. Very pretty though.
