I’m enjoying the autumn equinox and making Hawthorn things, so a quick post today. I hope you are enjoying the day too!

Hops (Humulus lupulus), beautiful flowers for drying, using, sleeping, brewing.

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna).

Pennsylvania Pelitory

Elderberries, not many of these left.

Holly berries (not edible)

Elder trunk

Above, Cherry Laurel

A beautiful fungus, probably not edible but it looks remarkably like Chicken in the Woods to me and I remember that from Exmoor. May have to get my mushroom books out before tomorrow’s walk…
