🔼 As the flowers fade so the fungi begin to appear. Not enough yet to give them a post of their own, but it’ll come. Patience.

🔼 See note above about catching the eye and having to click 🔽 I’m afraid the wall-rooted Ferns haven’t fared so well in our heatwave and drought. But I’ve no doubt they will recover

I really enjoyed! 🤪 Especially the elderberry and the sloe. I’ll definitely avoid the white bryony.
Have a wonderful day! ☺️ I’ll hopefully be able to participate this week, but it’s been a while since my Wi-Fi issues started, and the engineers haven’t been coming for three days… 😑

I’ll let you know when I find some. Youngsters don’t try to bring them down early, the way they used to.

Lovely pics – my favourite is the thistle and rose bay willow herb and of course I love the conkers in waiting 😀

Wonderful colours in your walk. Disconcerting that the poisonous is entangled with the not poisonous!

Dodgy, hey. Though it was out of easy reach for children. But we’re not responsible for what wild plants do outside of human areas

Indeed! Thankfully it is out of reach but that doesn’t mean adults know any better.
