UNEXPECTED GARDEN WALK
Some mornings I walk round the garden and find such unexpected things, that make you wonder where they came from, for example these freshwater snails, Nerite algae eating snails were in abundance yesterday after the rain, I’m guessing this is why the water is very clear this year.

It’s another of those plants that you do not nurture and it grows lovely. Do you know what this plant is, please? It appears to be doing very well in my mum’s garden, I thought it might be a fruit at first but I have never seen anything like this before. I asked my gardening friend (Mother Earth) but she did not know, so I have thrown it open…
