Male and female pine flowers
The pine is a monoecious conifer. This means it produces both male and female flowers. You can recognize the first mentioned by their yellow, hanging inflorescences. The female ones, on the other hand, shine reddish and have a round shape. Only the female flowers later develop into a seed cone, which enables reproduction.
