Allantus viennensis (Tenthredinidae) foraging for nectar on a peony flower bud. This is one of several sawfly species that spends its larval days defoliating my roses. They also eat Rubus so I'll be watching my blackberries and raspberries carefully. Originally from Europe. #sawflies #hymenoptera #insects #nature #wasps #macrophotography #roses #rosa #symphyta #rubus

I had to rearrange the cane fruit in my garden but failed to transfer the identifying stakes. Anyone have an opinion on what this might be? Options are Prime Ark blackberry, Jewel black raspberry, raspberry, tayberry, and boysenberry. The fruit should resolve it in several weeks but I'm dying of curiosity. #berries #rubus #garden #gardening #flowers

Made labels for the raspberry, boysenberry, tayberry, black raspberry, and blackberry I planted last year. Quickly realized that the some of the temporary markers had disappeared during the winter and that I'll need to guess which is which. Oops. Hoping they'll be useful differences in stems, leaves, and fruit. #garden #gardening #rubus #raspberry #boysenberry #tayberry #blackberry #plants #berries
