Field Notes

Description:

Saw four or five of these under an oak tree at the edge of some scrubby woods. The size of a large gumball. No plant nearby that looked like a source, nothing that looked like a vine or parasitic plant in the branches of the oak.

You know, that occurred to me a bit later. Odd how pretty galls can be. I should try to revisit the place. Thanks, chesterbperry ...
