PENDING... Ribes

PENDING... Ribes

 

 

More from the garden, a beautiful deep rich colour... open inviting.

Ribes sanguineum (Ornamental Currant), when young in Spring, they have a strong resinous scent. The flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the leaves emerge.

 

 

This member of the gooseberry family is a plant we know well in Great Britain and the Continent.

As it has escaped from gardens many years ago, and is now naturalised along many roadside hedgerows, where it is to be seen in flower in March, long before other woody species are in bloom.

Its leaves have a pungent smell and are very like those of the gooseberry, but it is without the gooseberry's sharp thorns. It usually grows up to about 2-3 m tall.

 

With love to you and thanx for your comments, M, (* _ *)
