Couldn’t resist this one! I’m on holiday and spotted this by the side of a Bulgarian main road. I as usual have no idea as to what it is, but I’ve got my resident Bottom expert Dr S. on the case. Good luck.

That’s an interesting plant. It has a sub-tropical look to it, although the leaves on it reminds me of the ones on my rowan tree, so perhaps it’s a distant relative!

i see what you mean about the Rowan leaves, we’ve got a few in the woods, i must let the wider populous know! They have red berries don’t they?

Yes, they have lots of berries that the birds absolutely love, just as the birds also love holly berries. I’d say that the rowan berries are more of an orangy-red than the holly ones are. The trouble comes for birds if they eat too many berries of any kind that have fallen off a tree or shrub and started to ferment, as the birds can get very drunk — sometimes fatally so!
