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...

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!


Hortensia


Groundcover roses
