The vivid berries of the Bryony 🔽 I didn’t see the leaves but I’d say that’s White Bryony. Whichever, they’re poisonous

And this last offering 🔼 I didn’t immediately recognise it, it’s not native to UK. Apples of Peru. A poisonous cousin of Physalis.
Hope you enjoyed.

Ah, thanks for the Bladder Campion… I had some growing in my wilderness at the bottom of my garden, and forgot to look it up.

It’s not the most common of that family, but I do adore it. Get quite excited when I find it

I’m hoping there’s to be loads more to come. But it looks like we’re to have a wet autumn, so I might have to pull yet more from the archives

We have had rain for the last two weeks- the wettest fall on record!

I doubt we’ve had enough to say that. Yet. But I only get to walk that camera on my daughter’s days off, and it seems the weather god wants to store up all his wetness for those days. When I look back over the years, September often keeps us home
