Mythology and tradition
|
There are several Guelder Rose trees on our land, so we decided to adopt the leaf shape as the logo for our project. |
|
|
The leaf is, at first glance, not unlike a sycamore or maple. |
 |
Here are the flowers in June |
|
By the Autumn the leaves have turned a deep red colour and develop a glossy leathery texture. |
|
|
The berries are also very glossy and deep translucent red |
