Ligularia again

In the autumn, there are mushrooms -- Saffron milk cups - edible, eatable and even enjoyable. These mushrooms... and some others.. grow right there on our land around the house.

Birch boletes...

Another milk cup waiting to be picked and eaten.

Some young strawberries

Wild forest strawberries are also there

Mock-orange (Philadelphus) (talk about some stupid names in English of something that doesn't even grow there), in Russian it is known as Chubushnik.

I love this plant -- most of the year it is just another shrub but when blossoming, it smells strongly of jasmine, especially in the evening. Too bad, it only blossoms for a rather short time once a year.

You can also add a blossom to your cup of tea - bingo - jasmine flavored tea!
