Rubus cockburnianus

family, misc

My wife was watching TV earlier. Monty Don, the gardening programme host, mentioned a flower variety and I’m assuming a caption appeared onscreen.

A quote from her email:

“As soon as Monty Don said it I weed my pants laughing. And then I though of you x”

So…

Rubus cockburnianus.

Really.

It’s a bramble.

Do your own research. It’s real, not a ‘funny’ Wikipedia plant.
