The observed shrub has been developing rapidly in recent days. Most of the buds are already sprouting and the leaves are starting to fill the branches of the trees. Veining is already noticeable on some leaves, also petiole and blade (lamina).

The bush I'm observing is now in the sprouting stage. Its pink flowers have already faded and light green leaves are sprouting from the buds. However, the whole shrub is still bare, without a large density of leaves.

I chose one of the shrubs in our garden. It is European hazelnut (Corylus Avellana). Its location is 49°54ʹ39.639“N 16°26ʹ49.912“E (around 393 metres above sea level) The bush I am watching has fallen leaves. It is currently in the flowering stage – of the female flowers visible only small pink stigmas protruding from the buds before sprouting, male are long catkins hanging from last year's branches. Although the shrub is blooming, I consider the buds to be dormant. The fruits of the plant are hazelnuts, most these nuts of last year have already fallen to the ground. What I probably like most about my bush is how it gradually wakes up from flowers through leaves to small nuts.
