I see Rowan berry at the bottom, and quince at the top, but very curious about the one where we can see the inside. I think we have a tree around the corner with that myriad of bright red fruits, but I don't know the name. Are they edible?

Oh it's not the inside...? Could it be a variety of rose hip?

The leaves look like it could be a type of citrus... The plot thickens...

More info tomorrow ser, you will be delighted nostr:npub1s3grn8hq3zhfuedrm4c9z2ljukp36x0lsakhwgqqavl2nsk0q0lqpv2tvy can atest. Well done on the others although I initially thought the quince was a pear, then felt it furry

To be fair, I knew the Swedish word for Rowan berry (rΓΆnnbΓ€r) and the French word for quince (coing), but I had to look up the English words. Every day is a chance to learn! A friend suggested to just learn the Latin names instead as they "work" in every language πŸ˜‚

I mean, screw the sats, you have me hanging over nails here πŸ˜‚ I need to know what that possibly citrus, could be rosebuds looks either delicious or deadly fruit is!!!

Oh man! I just crawled out of my hole after plebbing too hard at nostr:npub1t9ps7tplaxwuhukq2p266qvvu9cqszgdc8gcd5s0f0t4xfwcsf0s0qxy9g 🀣

These fruits are medlar! #openarse

A bit like me, they have to be left on the ground to rot for a couple of months before they're palatable but after that taste like dates and honey!

Well I am sorry to inform the medlars, but they are now forever openarse fruits!!!

In Latin "apertus clunis"

"clunes apertae" is acceptable too, or so I've heard

Quince, apples, haws, medlars, sorbus 😎. Might be able to send you some trees if you have the space for some πŸ™‚

Openarse!!!
