Hi

In my garden is a:

Rhus typhina

snip


At our 'gardens open' in early June a couple of ladies came along and
discovered a sad-looking Rhus typhina languishing in a pot behind my
greenhouse. It was a 'volunteer' from some neighbour's garden which I
didn't have the heart to throw away, and it had a big kink in the stem (it
was only about 1.5 feet tall). Anyway, they insisted on giving me a fiver
for it!

You can make a refreshing pink lemonade-type drink from the flowers,
apparently.
