Flowering raspberry (Rubrus odoratus) in the wildlife garden of the Guelph Aboretum. Definitely a gorgeous species!
If they weren’t such large plants (and such runner-spreaders like most raspberries) I’d have them in my gardens in a heartbeat!

Acer saccharum ‘Temple’s Upright’
A Sugar Maple if you can believe it!

Red Baneberry (Actaea rubra) in the wild areas of the Guelph Arboretum. Their poisonous berries were not quite ripe at the time I photographed this. Good to know for when comparing to specimens closer to home though.
(means that harvesting them in autumn is TOO LATE IN THE SEASON, late summer is more ideal)
FERRRRRNNNNSSSS at the Guelph Arboretum
- Dryopteris (?)
- Onoclea sensibilis and
- Polystichum acrostichoides (??)
Don’t look so shocked at my question marks, a fern-ID specialist I am not.
