A pretty shrub I captured while walking at Warilla South Coast New South Wales. A flickr friend called Pat has told me this is a Lace cap Hydrangea, thank you Pat
Dasiphora is a genus of three species of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa, ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, but genetic evidence has shown it to

I'm not to sure what it is called though, photo was taken in Bridgnorth Shropshire...
Thank you for the visits and comment's my friends ....
I took this photo while on holiday in the Peak district not to sure what It is called though.
Thank you my friends for the views and lovely comment's, they are much appreciated...
That is why the wise man is invariably called the fool :-)

Ceanothus are arguably the best blue-flowered hardy shrubs in the UK. The evergreen types provide fantastically dark-green glossy leaves throughout the year and blue flowers are produced in profusion in spring or summer., They are also known as "Californian Lilac"
These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

This Beautiful Coloured Shrub Dominates this Front Garden Scene ..........Ceanothus is a genus of about 50–60 species of nitrogen-fixing shrubs and small trees in the buckthorn family. Common names for members of this genus are buckbrush, California lilac, soap bush, or just ceanothus. .

Hydrangea common names hydrangea or hortensia, is a genus of over 75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan.
On the cliff walk at Stackpole the sheep roam about and, inevitably, their fleece gets caught on the bushes. There were no clouds to define the sky just milky sheet cloud unfortunately hence the white out sky. Hey Ho, you can't win the all.
Privet berries are the dark blue-black fruits of the Ligustrum genus of shrubs, known to be poisonous to humans and causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting if ingested. While toxic to humans, the berries are a food source for many birds and are often found in clusters on the branches, ripening in the late summer or fall.
The fruits are poisonous to humans but readily eaten by birds, making it possible for the seeds to spread far and wide.
Бирючина звичайна (Ligustrum vulgare) — отруйна багаторічна рослина родини маслинових, також широко відома під народною назвою во́вчі я́годи.
Крім того, в Україні цьому виду надають назви, пов'язані із властивостями його плодів. Найвідоміша з них — вовчі ягоди — притаманна також деяким іншим чагарникам з чорними ягодами. Виникнення цієї назви обумовлене отруйністю плодів бирючини (несправжніх ягід), які можуть заподіяти шкоди не тільки людині, а й тваринам. Народні назви жость, жості́р, жи́молодь вказують на зовнішню подібність плодів бирючини звичайної до ягід таких лісових чагарників як жостір проносний, крушина ламка, жимолость чорна. Серед маловідомих діалектних назв для цього виду вказують курослі́пник (поширена на Поділлі), фадьолина чи фадьольник (відома лише на Верховині).
Бирючина (лат. Ligústrum) — род растений семейства Маслиновые, включающий в себя около 40—50 видов вечнозелёных, полувечнозелёных и листопадных кустарников и маленьких деревьев. Виды бирючины распространены в Европе, Северной Африке, Азии и в Австралии, с центром разнообразия в Гималаях, Китае, Японии и на Тайване.
Растение красиво цветет белыми соцветиями. Цветы и листья его не ядовиты, а вот черные ягоды – при употреблении вызывают сильную рвоту, головокружение, диарею, потерю сознания, а в редких случаях даже возможен смертельных исход.
Увага! Вживання лише 5 ягід викликає вірну смерть. Особливо отруйна бирючина блискуча. Якщо ви випадково отруїлися вовчими ягодами, необхідно терміново вжити відповідних заходів щодо очищення шлунка і викликати швидку допомогу.
Плоды округлой формы, представляют собой блестящую круглую ягоду темно-синего цвета. Для людей ядовиты. Цветки белые, ароматные, собраны в черешчатые метельчатые соцветия. Цветение в июне-июле.
Это растение содержит гликозид сирингин (лигустрин), и шикимовую кислоту. Кислота-матушка эта известна тем, что является канцерогеном третьего класса в соответствии с отчетами Международного агентства по изучению рака. Хорошая новость в том, что при обжаривании шикимовая кислота разрушается. Но стоит ли оно того, ведь хватает обычных безопасных ягод. Частые симптомы отравления — боль в животе/головные боли, тошнота, рвота, диарея, низкое артериальное давление.
