Pyracantha



These are flowers of Pyracantha Rosaceae, in English Firethorn, that makes a wonderful hedge. It makes these small white pretty flowers in Spring and non edible red and yellow berries in summer, among very long thorns. (This is why it is such a good plant to make hedges out of!)

I have this bush in my back yard. When the berries are old and a little fermented, the American Robins come and get a little drunk from eating them.
