A big ole pile of chip cherry

Two cute types of lads today at NT Dyffryn Gardens; the first is chip cherry (because they grow on woodchips), and the second is a lil cluster of inkcaps on what looked to be a tiny rotten stump

I’ve had some pop up in my garden too this year ☺️

So beautiful! I love a star-shaped flower, and those veins make them look so intricate

They are also quite good though (elder and hawthorn)

There are at Slimbridge btw, not native unfortunately! 😔 UK berries could never

I’ve seen some charities saying they only stay on there so no one can impersonate them.

Wood ears at Slimbridge to kick off the season 🍂🍄 I was worried it was going to be bad one because of how dry it’s been, but the heavens have opened significantly recently and everything is going to be so mushy #fungifriday

Wow this guy is gorgeous 😍

And last but not least, this one I rescued from a quite deep box that she’d fallen into and was too tired to get back out again. She was very grateful for the food…picking them up with a flower the best thing to do if you find a bee that needs help, sugar water is only good if you can’t do that.
