The definition of Spindleberry I have shared here is courtesy of Wikipedia
Euonymus europaeus (spindle, European spindle, common spindle) is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, native to much of Europe, where it inhabits the edges of forest, hedges and gentle slopes, tending to thrive on nutrient-rich, chalky and salt-poor soils. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree. Other names include fusoria, fusanum, ananbeam, shemshad rasmi (Iran).

I love spindleberries - they are such a lovely shade of pink - ours have already split and are showing the yellow seed inside.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of these, they look lovely, and look at that sky, making me feel warm. xx
ReplyDeleteit is so lovely, the colors and those cute little pods... great shot
ReplyDeleteMa che bello, Lindy! Non conoscevo questa varietà di Evonimo, in giardino ho quello sempreverde variegato. Ho letto che in Italia lo chiamiamo "berretta del prete", che in inglese sarebbe "priest cap".
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. Such an interesting shape and color. Never heard of it, but it's so nice to learn about plants from your part of the world. Great share!
