Our acorn tree dropped all of its blossom-thingies within a few hours

Edit:
Just realized the correct name for the tree is actually maple.
False friend caused mistake because its name is "Ahorn" in German.
Keeping the heading as it is, because it is funny, although it might trigger the Canadians (sorry, dudes!).
Interesting, thank you. I guess I should instead say, then, that I have never seen any flowers on any maple trees and I have seen tons of maple trees. But I didn't know that. I'll have to do some reading. I love plants. You could study them all day every day and die knowing so little about them.
Quite a few angiosperms have inconspicuous flowers. All grasses have flowers, but on most species you'll never see them unless you're studying them with a magnifying glass
