It's a Big-tooth Aspen!

A week ago we posted a picture of a leaf that is the basis for one of our screens, and asked for help to identify it.  We originally thought it was a sweet gum leaf, but later found out it was not.

D.Ann C. was first to identify this leaf as a big-tooth aspen and provided several online references to support her identification:

"Perhaps a Big-tooth Aspen populus grandidentata https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/tree-shrub/big-tooth-aspen and http://www.adirondacklifemag.com/blogs/2012/09/25/legend-of-the-fall/"

Other commenters came to the same conclusion.

So, D.Ann, we would like to reward you with a free screen of this leaf (or any other small screen of your choice from the Etsy shop).  Please contact us at pgfiber2art@gmail.com so we can send it off to you. Thanks for your help!  And thanks to everyone else who commented as well.

Can You Identify This Leaf?

Leaves are some of our most popular thermofax screens.  Many people are easily able to visualize a fabric design with leaves and you can make them fit any season too.  Since the beginning of our business selling thermofax screens, we have had a screen we called “Sweet Gum”.  

Recently, while looking up at the gum tree from which (we thought) this leaf came, it was realized that it must be mislabeled.  A quick search on Google images confirms that “no, that leaf doesn’t resemble a sweet gum at all”.

So, the hunt is on!  We have looked and looked and cannot identify this leaf.   If you know what type of leaf this is and can point us in the direction of confirming its identity, we would like to reward you with a free screen of this leaf, or any other small screen of your choice from the PG Fiber2Art Etsy shop!

Comment on this post with your guess as to its identity and a source where we can confirm that information.  We will announce the winner (we hope there is one!) on August 15.  Good luck!
