The Good, The Bad & The Ugly; berry, berry different
2 October, 2011 in Flora
I have been struck just recently by the number of berries on the various trees and shrubs and even more so by the variation of colour in some species of plant, like Hawthorn for example… just take a look at look at these little lovelies:
Hawthorn Berries - The Good
Hawthorn Berries - The Bad
Hawthorn Berries - The Ugly
Three different looks on bushes just a couple of miles apart… bright, shiny and lush on a young bush in a hedgerow, dried, almost desiccated on a bush beside the salty estuary, and fat, ripe and bursting on a bush beside a drainage reen… The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, so to speak.
