<p>Black bryony (Dioscorea communis) is a climbing hedgerow and woodland edge plant that flowers between May and August. It later produces red, shiny berries that can be seen in autumn and into winter. It's the only native member of the yam family found in the UK.  Despite it's beauty, Black Bryony is highly poisonous.<br />

<p>&quot;Echinacea Wildflowers&quot; by Patti Deters. Three vibrant pink coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) stand tall against a soft-focus, golden meadow background. The flowers' intricate petals and central cones contrast beautifully with the understated elegance of the surrounding grass. Gentle sunlight enhances the calming atmosphere.
