Berry Nice!

My car is in the garage so I had to walk to work today. A tedious walk along a fairly busy road but with an amazing lot to see! 

 There were small newly formed pine cones peeping over the fence of someone’s garden. And in the verge thistles waiting to shed their seeds everywhere.

Berries galore and of so many different varieties. These were on ornamental trees planted in the verge and were most attractive. Could they be rowans?

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these lovely roses looking over the fence. They had the most delicious scent!

 These white blossoms were in profusion along someone’s fence and looked lovely.

Holly berries on the variegate holly. Still working up to being red!

Draceana blossom which is so common around Falmouth at the moment. It has a slight honey like scent and is very attractive to bees.

Even more berries of a different kind but I have no idea what they are.

Lovely hydrangea blossoms turning colour. These grow most profusely along the road.

A lone apple! Whether it was a bad crop or one that didn’t get picked I don’t know. But it looked very edible!

Very attractive berries growing against a wall. Again this was a very large bush with lots of berries.

Views of the countryside on the other side of the road looking across to Maenporth. The cows seem delighted to have some sun!

More berries! These seemed to be extremely juicy and were a bit like yew berries but in clusters.

I know the name of this berried bush but can’t spell it! And as I don’t want you to laugh at me I’m not going to try!

I have pink Japanese anemones but I have always wanted white ones as I like them better. They look good against the deep purple of the bush.

Lots of rose hips with blackberries and late blooming honeysuckle in amongst them. There were lots and lots and I was very tempted to pick some for rose hip syrup!

This is a view of the allotments on the other side of the road. They have only been going since the spring and yet look as if they’ve been there for ever!

These berries were most attractive. Earlier in the year the bushes were a profusion of small white flowers.

I just liked this pot with it’s blue flowers and just had to have a picture. If only mine were as good!

Russion Vine which is a terrible plant for climbing over things to the exclusion of everything else. It looks lovely but is really destructive if not kept in check.

This is tree in our close which is covered in cherries at this time of the year. Unfortunately they are ornamental and not good for eating. Even the birds seem to leave them alone!

And last but not least the lovely changing colours on the tree opposite our house. This tree is a picture in the spring with pink blossom and then in the autumn runs the gamut from green through yellow to red in the leaves. If you are still with me after all this then you might like to know that the walk home takes twenty minutes but longer when taking pictures!
