1 Leaving my piano lesson today, the hedge once full of wild roses is now full of Rosehips. Had I more time, I would have collected some for Rosehip Jelly.

2 A neighbour is growing Hollyhocks. These pale pink beauties are about10′ tall!

3 Along the lane the Arum maculatum, also known as cuckoo pint or cuckoo-pint here in the British Isles is named thus in Nicholas Culpepers‘ famous 16th Century herbal. These berries are sadly poisonous if very glossy and lovely looking!

The fruit of Cuckoo-pint always looks bright and colourful but it always seems a pity it doesn’t keep its foliage while fruiting. That would look so good!
