Rambling in the woodland

Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry, European blueberry) is a wonderful plant. The berries are delicious and with health benefits, and we can also enjoy the splendid colours of its leaves:

Lingonberries are not quite ripe yet:

I found the peachy colour of these ripening rowan fruits particularly elegant. Usually they are more orange. The small plant, however, didn't look very healthy:

Also this year the crop of rowan fruit looks abundant. In Eastern Finland, it is said that the rowan "will not bear a heavy load of fruit and a heavy load of snow in the same year". In other parts of the country and the world, however, there seem to be quite opposite sayings... :)

Thank you, as always, for your lovely comments on my previous posts. Have a sweet September!
