I failed to identify this plant?

This has been a growing year at The Cottage with little hedgerow fruit forming unlike last year’s hot summer here when there was an abundance. This has been a wet summer in the north.Lords and ladies in full fruit (Arum maculatum).

Some sloes forming but still green and swelling. Last year they were ripe.

Even the blackberries were sparse, undeveloped and with tiny fruits.

The elders mainly had very few seed heads and these too were sparse and underdeveloped for the time of the year.

Encouraging signs from Asia’s aerial root experiments. Despite the drought the moss is growing out of the sealed capsules. This implies that the capsule has not dried out. Time for Asia to inspect and see if proper rooting has taken place inside. Hopefully something to pot up? I bet she has had a look at a few but I have heard no good news yet. Should we pot after the next real rain or wait until spring? Probably remove and pot in September if there is enough of a root formation to sustain the severed shoot. Again trial and error.

A decent Eucryphia ‘Nymansay’ at last!

Prunus pilosiuscula is plastered in fruits which are red then black. Asia needs to gather these now. I have never noticed such a crop before.

We have missed most of the flowers on the pink form of Magnolia delavayi by the dog kennels but there was one small flower left. The tepals are not terribly pink but I think they would have been much pinker before the bud opened. This is the first time we have remembered to photograph the pink M. delavayi which is now about 15ft tall and 10ft across.
