Hips & Fungi…..
In the summer, a delicate rose in our hedge flowered for the first time….
We don't know what variety it is, but it's a beauty.
Now, the hips are ripening – small, round, dark reddish/purple …
Also in the hedge, the Rosa Rugosa hips are ripening too - big, red and blowsy…..
Food for the birds through the months ahead.
In the field over the hedge – first fungi this year…
The year moves on......
PS
Mike's just found what the mystery rose is likely to be...
