Plant of the Day

Monday 22 July 2024

The only tree seen growing on the abandoned island of Swona, Orkney, was this Sambucus nigra (elder, elderberry) sheltered by a barn. This small native tree develops few branches and has flat sprays of fragrant cream flowers in early summer followed by small black berries.

A tribute for the wonderful's Insecte_Subtil's cat friend, Chopper. Such commissions always feel incredibly personal and important to me. Thank you so much again for trusting me with this piece. ❤️

Plant of the Day

Sunday 17 September 2023

The short-lived perennial Verbena bonariensis (purpletop vervain, clustertop vervain, Argentinian vervain) is a great plant for a late summer and early autumn display. In this sunny front garden it was thriving on a well drained soil and contrasted with the dark purple foliage of Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' (elder). Mature plants can succumb to the winter but self-sown seedlings often survive.

Elberberry and boneset. First time finding these. I didn't have a container for the berries so I'll collect them next time.
