Default Do you recognise these plants? 1 of 2

Hypericum - don't recognise the species.


Agreed Hypericum. Thought Tutsan at first (and from leaf colour in the
background), but berries are too elongated. Ditto Rose of Sharon. Are
there any other widely grown Hypericums of that size in the UK?

Rowan, probably the native Sorbus aucuparia (the berries look a bit on
the crimson/pink side, but I'll blame the camera - at least I've had
trouble with correct rendition of reds in digital cameras.)


If it's not that, it could be one of the pink berried ones which start
quite dark red and fade to pink or white. Leaves not right for S
vilmorinii else I'd go for that.
