Cedrus deodara
deodar cedar cones are wrapped tightly into an egg shaped cone. this is held together by turgor (water) pressure. as the water leaves the cones (i.e. the cones dry up or are roased by heat) they will unravel spirally often leaving the last few layers attached to the base of the cone. this looks like a single or wild rose.
