During the last couple of weeks, the two little Cork Oaks (Quercus suber, Fagaceae family) have inverted their proportions: the one that was smaller (Q. suber I) suddenly «jumped up» and is now the higher. In the meanwhile, the other one's growth slowed down considerably. This is biodiversity!

The two little Cork Oaks (Quercus suber, family Fagaceae) are growing up. Both acorns are from the same tree (here is where they came from) and were seeded on January 15th, 2008. We had some cold weather last week and that's probably why the «corkies» didn't get much higher.
