Roaming streets in the Central Otago town of Ranfurly on a beautiful autumn day was a pleasure and I had my camera ready to hand. I was filling in time while Nigel was busy out-of-town on a client site visit. There were plenty of interesting fruits and berries, and eye-catching colours. This is the same day that I found the Golden Clematis and the Rosy Red Apples. New Zealand. 13 March 2022.

Lovely photos of the rowan berries. I’ve just been taking photos of the rowan flowers in our spring garden!

How nice! I checked your blog and not seeing the rowan flowers yet I’ve enjoyed taking a look at your recent post of bluebells!

I knew a woman whose heritage was English, and whose last name was “Rowan.” I suspect there could have been a connection between the family name and the plant.

Yes, I suppose that could well be the case! When I was reading up about Sorbus a while back I seem to recall Rowan had certain traditional properties associated with it but I don’t remember them now.
