Sweet/Edible Cherry a few days ago. Quite early on the morning and on a neighbouring plot. A simple beauty well able to compete with current ubiquitous Japanese cherries.

Seed raised Amelanchier alnifolia from an Alpine Garden Society seed distribution. A dwarf form. Shrublet. On my plot, in flower now. Quite like this. Sets berries but I never get any. Wood pigeons eat the lot.

Much more dull and cloudy early on. Two front yards. To the fore some kind of Restio family plant. Can't say I like them. Ordinary grasses more elegant. European Fan Palm - Chamaerops humilis. Furthest away Chamaerops humilis cerifera - N African 'blue' version.
