This fleshy plant used to be a cheap way of feeding pigs – hence the name.

Seed-heads of grasses.

The berries just beginning to form, in early June.

This is probably a young one. It let me get close enough for a picture even though I didn’t have a particularly long lens.

Not in fact what the name suggests, but a froth which hides and protect the nymph of a froghopper: a small insect.

The plant which gave its name to the sweeping implement which used to be made from it.
