… at least according to Google’s image search.
Update: a reader says it’s too early for rhododendron and Google has it wrong – more likely oleander…

We smelled a really strong lemony scent on this short trail but we couldn’t locate it. The aptly named Lemonade Berry did not seem to be the source.








What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water….
The Waste Land, T S Eliot
