@sarahfaulkner.bsky.socialThings are definitely getting fruity around here!!
A short walk today resulted in 15 sp with berries, #fruits or nuts, plus 3 deer bursting out of the hedge!
My favourite for this week's #wildflowerhour challenge - the beautiful berries of Bittersweet in the full range of traffic light colours! 😍

@alfredord.bsky.socialOddly there is a Wall nut trees on the Downs above Steyning. This one seems to have enjoyed the summer and is quite lush. #wildflowerhour #fruits
@anneontheshelf.bsky.social#WildflowerHour #fruits Dog roses, Rosa canina agg with sepals turning down against the hips and falling before they fully ripen. Hedgerow near Monmouth.
@benthomas-1983.bsky.socialCrab apple - Malus sylvestris from the hedgerow with a reasonable crop despite the drought. #fruits #Wildflowerhour
@haggewoods.bsky.socialMedlar, Mespilus germanica, another of the fruity bounty of the Rosaceae. I think often of the benefits of the family Rosaceae, and of how many genera in that family provide food crops for all, humans and other mammals, and birds of course, all the dependant inverts too.
