Old Boggy Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 First to identify this plant/hedgerow shrub with the common and Latin name will get a copy of `Hot Barrels` by Jeremy Hobson. This I originally obtained from a PW member, but have since been given another copy by my daughter as a present, unaware that I already had it, so is surplus to requirements. Sorry, don`t seem to post photo. Will try harder later. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, I did edit to say photo to follow (Hopefully). No doubt there will be a comment soon about snowdrops in a snow storm or similar. Once I get my head round imgbb maybe something may appear. If you can guess the plant without a photo John, you can have the book OB Edited November 13, 2018 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s a hedgerow bush with small pinkish flowers/berries grows to about 4 or 5 foot and is in flower now.

Might have underestimated its possible height as it can grow quite tall. I was only going by the one I saw yesterday. OB Bit more information. It has orange berries inside the pink petals.
