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.

This fungus is now aging as it grows from the trunk of a fallen birch tree.

Apart from its beauty as a flower, this plant has had a whole long list of uses in herbal mdeicine.
