#Cotoneaster #berries. They're similar to firethorn plants but are thornless with serated leaf margins. Their flowers & fruits are toxic for humans but have excellent #WildlifeValue.
These are #larval food plants for several insects. Their flowers attract many #pollinators. Their fruits are eaten by multiple birds - blackbirds especially love eating these berries in Winter.
It's been cultivated by landscapers for wildlife value & soil erosion prevention. It's grown in many public & private areas around here - I see it almost everywhere. Birds have spread their seeds afar.

I don't know which variety of cotoneaster this is - there are a lot of varieties.

Spotted at Burnside Medical Clinic parking lot.

#Brick Thing one year in...

Getting #moss established generally around the base.

Front middle is a compact ajuga, that may be too spready, but time will tell...

Middle left is Sicilian #mint, which is also quite aggressive but v. low growing.

Middle right, in the cavity, is a small harts tongue #fern, that's looking happy there...

On the top, I went with a #cotoneaster in the end. I wanted a tree rather than a shrub, but in a year I didn't get a suitable seedling, so cotoneaster it is, and to be fair it will #bonsai well. Long term plan is, as it grows, to lower the soil level in the tower and develop some exposed, #gnarly #roots

There's also stonecrop (front right) and a small rosetted house leek (out of sight round the back...)

Cotoneaster sp.

Yes I have a #plants problem, but luckily the #garden centre is always able to take my money 😆. Painted the planters with concrete paint, and got 6 #cotoneaster plants in them. Also bought a few other plants of course. @plants

Tiny flowers, lots of #bees
#cotoneaster

It’s #spring and the #flowers are blooming, which means that #Bees have got a good supply of food. They particularly seem to like the small flowers of the #Cotoneaster plant in the front #garden and throughout a #SunnyDay, there are always several dozen on it.

@clarebee you've been photo bombed by cotoneaster

Our dwarf #daffodils are budding. They are among the first to flower, usually by the middle of February. The red in the foreground are berries from the #cotoneaster. The smaller bulbs in the background #hyacinths.

Leuchtendes Rot an grauen Tagen: #cotoneaster in meinem Garten.

Die Pflege des schmalen #Grünstreifen|s ist #Baederland #Hamburg zu teuer. #Insektensterben #Selbermachen. Mir blutet das #Botanikerherz. Sogar die #Cotoneaster wurden weitgehend zugeschüttet. #Jammer
