If you're wondering what is the point of this photo, I can tell you; the blurred bit in the centre of the image (behind the wire) was what I was interested in. There were several Fox tails hung up like a macabre trophy, but as you can see, I was prevented from photographing them by the undergrowth and the wire fence.

Can you name this plant? Yes! It IS black! Pardon my poor effort at capturing it! Will post the answer later......Have a 'Go!'

Early June and the produce is fairly throwing itself at me:

Brittle wax.

Tom Thumb.

Phone pics taken between downpours.
