Show us your plants, trees and scenery

This topic was suggested by DutchBear , but he asked me to start it.
I am delighted to do so, and look very much forward to see what others have to show  

The trees below are among my favorites, and they always stand on my shelves , adding some nice green .
Because they are rather 2-dimentional they do not take up much space.

The first ones are made by Elastolin. Originally the models were made of composition material, but mine are only plastic

The base is hollow with "Elastolin Germany" or just "Germany" moulded inside :

These three are made by Marolin, but I do not know much about them.
They are nice, heavy plastic models with solid base .

Susanne, thanks for opening this SUY. I am surprised that you opened it with vintage companies! If I find an empty corner in my house and if at Portuguese auction websites drop a cheap tree, I'll surely consider getting it. Trees are wonderful and the perfect complement for an animal figurines collection. I know many of us don't have anything to contribute here, but I hope the few tree owners, can help building this topic and turn it in a very good reference for collectors!

Hurraaay ! Somebody saw this SUY

Yes, I started with vintage ones, because they are the ones I always have on my shelves

Ohhhh~ They are great, Susanne  I especialy love the ones form Marolin!
I have some, too!

First, This Giant cactus from Schleich, it was my first model-plant and i have real cacti as well

Now I am really looking forward to see more!

Wonderful plants, Dusty

I think that cactus was also one of the very first I got, - it is great

And the fern from the pond set, I always use as a palm tree at the nativity set at christmas

Nice and very decorative plants, Stardust and Susanne! Thank you.

Hey, guys, we need to se your models of plants, please

Very nice models Susanne and Dusty :)
These are my old, lead trees :

More lead models you can see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

As far as I remember, I only have the Papo appletree, which I found in a Dutch thrift store about a year ago:

Those lead trees are absolutely beautyful, Kosta

Julie, - you were very lucky to find that appletree, and you even have a little squirrel tasting the fruit

Thankyou both for sharing

Yes, I sure was! The squirrel's apple looks like the same size as those from the appletree, although the squirrel itself looks a bit oversized..

You're welcome!

Still long till christmas, but here are my Spruce trees

About the name of thie trees, - I am a little confused, because I think they are sometimes called pinetrees.
But to me pine trees are quite different, - they do not grow "in circles"    

Well, here are my trees. The tallest ones are from Schleich, the dark green one to the left is from Safari, and the two little ones are from Bullyland :

They are quite different, - here some pictures closer up :

I love the little ones from Bullyland, - they are clearly another species, - Black spruce perhaps ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Great trees Susanne, I adore the Bullyland ones
Is one of your deers in the mood for showing sizes?

Beautiful trees! The bullyland little spruce trees are especially lovely!
the papo apple looks very special too, how lucky that you found it Julie!

Thankyou Karin and Anna

Uhh, I just packed most of them away, but the tallest Bullyland tree stands here, and it is 13 cm tall

Susanne, usually, these called pine trees in Christmas draws are clearly inspired in firs. Though, I am not an expert in this subject. The only thing I can really see is that these trees are very beautiful!

Thankyou, dear Roger

Time for some tropical greenery while the frost is biting outdoors

And then some prehistoric plants .
Two from Collecta and two from Safari .
The tall one from Safari is a Agathis Conifer, the small one is a Cyad.

I love these prehistoric trees, - perhaps the ones from Safari are a little most to my taste, but so far I only got round to take close-ups of the CollectA ones  
They come in fine, little boxes :

Those are plantastic!
So interesting to see reconstructions of prheistoric plants, this toy world is defintively a very interesting hobby!

The long, tall, slender tree seems to be a POPULUS NIGRA, which we call "Peuplier Noir d'Italie" in french. We find them around the Meditareanean Sea.

If the topic is still relevant after all these years here are my palms Schleich

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yes ! Yes ! It is still very relevant

Again a wonderful, beautyful picture full of charm and beauty ! Thankyou very much ! Seems you could set a new standard of look-alive pictures here

Every topic is relevant on forum and anytime new nice pictures like yours are posted, topics turn even more relevants! Wonderful!

SUSANNE, Roger I'm glad to hear it! My photos do not always come out clear and with the right focus. I use the phone) The transfer from the photocamera to take a long time..
