Rowan flowers
| Rowan | Harilik pihlakas |
A beautiful and well known tree, familiar to insects, birds, animals and us. Have you smelled the rowan flowers? The smell of the beautiful flower clusters is even off-putting – what does it remind of? Slighlty rotten meat ...? Bees and other insects however have plenty to do when the rowan flowers.
Rowans are quite tolerant as regards habitat, they can make do with poor and dry locations but there they usually stay bush-sized. In more fertile habitats they of course grow into quite splendid trees.
