Mystery Macro Monday - June Edition (aka the Birthday Edition)

Here we are, a week late but going for it!  This June edition of Mystery Macro is special because it's also my birthday.  Fun, right?  Remember, now that it's only once a month, whoever guesses correctly for just this post will get entered into a random drawing for a prize (based on order of correct guesses in the comments section)!  There is a new twist this month - the guesses have to be specific.  So, the clue is "something that grows" & now you have to tell me exactly what it is.  So you can't just guess "tree."  Make sense?  You have to say "maple" or "pine".  You all have until Friday at midnight to guess what the object is in the picture (be as specific as possible).  A whole five days to think about it.  And since we leave for vacation on Friday, the winner will get a souvenir we pick up during our trip (I will post more details of our upcoming adventure later this week).  Good luck!
