pine-cone
Forest floor find
A pine-cone is the woody, scaled seed-bearing structure of a pine tree, roughly oval and tapering to a point.
The overlapping scales open to release seeds in dry conditions and close when wet.
Pine-cones are common decorations and craft materials, especially around autumn and winter holidays: We collected pine-cones for the wreath.
Also spelled pinecone.
