“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
― William Shakespeare
I spotted this tree in Hong Kong and what surprised me was the fact that it was tagged. I am not sure what could be the reason but looks like tagging could ensure counting and knowing what tree this was. As long as tagging helps conserve the environment and give us the necessary data we need on our flora, this is good.
What do you think?
First things first. Apologies for being away from this series for three weeks. As much as you all missed the posts, I missed seeing your pictures. I am now back and will be around.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature on this blog. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Next week, I will link your posts on my blog and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
Before you go, don’t forget to check the lovely trees that were shared last week on #ThursdayTreeLove – 20:
- Let’s fly, says Esha.
- Amrita’s Bleeding Heart Vine
- Trees around the lake that Ramya captured
- Alana wonders, “what’s wrong with the Maple?”
- The serene sight by the lake captured by Angela
- Balaka says that these are roots of faith and belief
- Have you seen a Baobab? Head to Archana’s post to know more.

I am glad it’s tagged. Maybe someone does take care of it. And given how Hong Kong is rising as a city, it is essential they grow more. Nice capture 😊

I’m so glad they care so much for a tree as to tag it and keep a watchful eye on it! I so wish that more of this happened around our world and we didn’t mercilessly fell trees in the name of development. Love linking up for the #TreeLove post. In a way, it’s nice to come back refreshed after a break, even though I missed it.
Here is my post for this week:

Welcome back Parul 🙂 so nice to have you back and thanks for this post. I found this tree interesting with the tag, which means this tree is counted and is taken care of hopefully. This picture gives me a feeling that the tree is quite tall and you have to look up to click:) good click. Thanks for sharing and here is my link.

I missed this feature but can understand why- you really were busy with work first and then a holiday.
I actually used to find tree naming very silly and pointless but when I was in the US I
missed this very Indian practice of labelling trees as there was no one around to ask what the name was . So I think it’s good when trees are labelled / tagged or named

Hey, I am glad you are back and also that you had a happy vacation! You deserved the break!
Yeah, trees here do get tagged for information, mostly. We also find some who have a band of white and brown colour painted on them. Of course, it is meant for preserving them, keeping them safe.

That’s nice! I’ve never seen a band. Maybe it’s your turn to post a pic for us 😉
