Narrowleaf Firethorn

Narrowleaf Firethorn is an evergreen shrub, native to China.
It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental garden shrub with several cultivars selected for variation in berry colour.

The bright orange/red Firethorn berries taste very bitter, making them inedible for humans, but they are a very important source of food for birds during winter when food is scarce (especially blackbirds are crazy about them).

Dutch name : Vuurdoorn
German name : Feuerdorn
Latin name : Pyracantha angustifolia

A wonderful closeup Mark, you have captured the details very well. I have tried growing them here but they don't live through the winters well.

Was für ein herrliches Rot - das gedämpfte Licht ist so wunderbar! Der Farbkontrast von Grün und Rot ist immer wieder ein Hingucker. Deine Aufnahme in diesen herrlichen Farben wirkt ein wenig wie ein Stilleben!

LG!
