Rambling through the forest last week was a joy; late afternoon, the sun low in the sky, a chance of rain, the air sweet and damp. I came home with a big smile, a bag full of blackberries and a handsome array of specimens for my nature table. I can identify most of them, the hawthorn, dog rose, pine cones, thistle, alder, london plane, blackberry, cobnut/hazel, heather, beechnut, blackthorn/sloe, but the long slender plant at the bottom of the picture - is it meadowsweet?, and the silvery green, sword-shaped leaves with the clusters of orange berries - very beautiful, but what is it?
