Rainy 16°C / 61°FThe pheasant berry bush is romping away very happily. Just to think that it looked like a few twigs just sticking out of the ground for ages. The leaves shot up in the summer, and now the flowers and berries are showing in the bracts. Spiders are happily nestling in the leaves, waiting for unwary...

Strange flowers on the pheasant berry bush
pheasant berry bush Flowering and Littlest's scrabbling patch, Bunlett's pot, and my Mediterranean gardenOvercast 13°C / 55°FThe Pheasant berry is starting to get interesting, it has grown phenomenally since I last wrote about it.

Pleasant pheasant berry buds ahoy!
pheasant berry bush Budding and Littlest's scrabbling patch, Bunlett's pot, and my Mediterranean gardenCloudy 16°C / 61°FWell, this is coming along nicely. I think I found the beginnings of some flower buds at the end of one of the stalks this evening.

Cloudy 18°C / 64°FI just thought you might like to know that the Pheasant berry bush is suddenly shooting up after having remained quite small for ages. No sign of anything other than leaves yet, but that is to be expected.

Sunny 13°C / 56°FNot every bit of the berries was pollinated. So only certain cells are plumping up. I was really hoping for a better harvest than last year. I’ve watered better but it doesn’t matter if the flowers aren’t getting pollinated.

I would really like to see this do well, though I don’t have much idea what a grown one looks like, I have seen the flowers and berries, and they are fantastic! At the moment though, it looks like some pretty disappointing twigs stuck in a pot.
