Red berries on a scarlet firethorn bush

i think the bush they're in is a scarlet firethorn and when i went on wiki to check if that's right, the polish wiki said the berries have an unpleasant taste and are mildly toxic, meanwhile the english wiki said they're inedible when raw but can be cooked into jam etc.

Our neighbourhood has a lot of "Himalayan firethorn" (Pyracantha). Phone pics:
- Different colour bushes by main road.
- Bright red, back garden, testing new phone (returned due to screen flicker).
- Satisfying result of these Bee's work back in June: x.com/Z3R0Gravitas...
Description by Gemini Fast: A vertical close-up of a branch of a Pyracantha (Firethorn) bush laden with clusters of brilliant, marble-sized yellow-orange berries. The berries contrast sharply with the dark green leaves. The background is a soft blur, with a hint of orange berries and bright yellow-green foliage further back along a path, suggesting a hedge row. Description by Gemini Fast: A close-up shot focused on a dense cluster of vibrant scarlet-red berries, likely from a red-berried Pyracantha (Firethorn). The waxy, round berries hang from thin stems, and the evergreen leaves surrounding them are a deep green. A thick, out-of-focus background of more red berries and green foliage enhances the rich color of the foreground cluster. Description by Gemini Fast: A vertical photo capturing a cascading wall of orange-yellow Pyracantha (Firethorn) berries and dark green foliage spilling over the edge of a light gray concrete wall cap. The sun is low, raking across the scene and bathing the berries and the warm-toned brick wall beneath in a rich, golden light.

Garden cheer to keep birds happy.
Scarlet firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea) with red and orange berries has fruit that is bitter and astringent, but delicious when cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade.

It looks a bit like the scarlet firethorn/pyracantha coccinea so I worried when I read that yours is an invasive species.

(I’ve been trying to grow a firethorn in my garden for some years now, but somehow it keeps getting overgrown…)

Another week, another selection of #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy photos from me; this time I bring the start of the autumnal colours from my garden and the woods behind my house.
The glorious autumnal view from my bedroom window thanks to the ripening of the fruit on my ornamental crab apple. The photo is filled with green leaves and miniature apple shaped fruit in shades from yellow to blush red. A patch of nettles (large ovate leaves with toothed edges) and cleavers (clumps of small spatulate leaves with smooth edges), all vivid greens and dotted with rain. A scarlet firethorn hedge absolutely heaving with tiny berries in both bright fire engine red and vibrant orange. A fallen tree at the side of a path in my local woods, being reclaimed by ivy and moss. The ground surrounding it is covered with leaves and the rest of the trees are still in full leaf but many of the leaves are yellowing.

September comes and you see that August's ripening fruits were autumn's first blush all along...

I absolutely love these rosa glauca hips in my garden 😍 #TinyJoys
Words from a draft of mine, against a blurred red and green backdrop: "September comes and you see that August's ripening fruits were autumn's first blush all along: a dusting of rouge on swelling apples; reddening rosehips and plump purple plums; the darkening jewels of elder and sloe; the scarlet blaze of firethorn and holly and rowan; the subtle smouldering crimson of hawthorn and yew."

Have been stabbed in the finger by a thorn from something called Scarlet Firethorn.

To be totally fair, if I was cut by a sword with that name I would probably wear that scar with pride.

Does hurt like a mothe-

The pyracantha (firethorn) shrubs in my #biodiversity hedge provide warm splashes of colour in winter, even in the snow. They're very suitable for the climate here in #Bulgaria, and birds like the berries.
Do you have pyracantha in your garden? If yes, may we see a pic?

before buying anymore groceries, eat all the food you have. if you have to supplement with fresh produce, ok, but clear the pantry before stocking up again.

The firethorn (pyracantha) shrubs in my garden (American English: in my yard) provide intense winter colours. Their orange and scarlet berries glow like lanterns.

The berries, though inedible for humans, are a treat for some wild birds.
