Pinecones

Pinecones are fascinating and I've been drawing inspiration from them.  (And drawing them, too.) These three are Ponderosa and Jeffery pinecones.

Ponderosas have spines that point out in a "J" shape, and Jeffery pines have spines that point downwards, so you can tell them apart by rememering prickly ponderosa  and gentle jeffery. Otherwise the trees look really similar.
