I’m wondering if this is a toy that’s been dropped, or whether it was planted here in an act of hopeful sympathetic magic, for it sure does look like a certain fungus (fly agaric) 🔼

Fruits of the common lime tree. Despite here the leaves are remarkably dark, the leaves at the top of the tree showed as ‘lime’ green 🔼🔽 Pink campion provides a winter home for this ladybird!

I enjoyed very much! Our colours are on their way out.
I love that little toy thingy – I choose to believe it was left there on purpose!
Wonderful share.
