Raindrops Cling To Multiflora Rosa Hips On Long Island New York Property In Late Autumn - IMRAN™
On a rainy autumn day during this visit to New York, I took a stroll through my Long Island property with my German Shepherd, K2. As we explored spots I had never even stepped on in thirty years of living here, I noticed the vibrant red hips of the multiflora rose, glistening with raindrops. On another day I also photographed them in brighter conditions.
I did not know much about them, especially because biology and botany were my least favorite subjects as a kid. However, at this stage in my life, I love to learn as much as I can about everything I see.
I learned from an online search that these small fruits of the invasive plant species, which emerge after the shrub’s delicate white flowers bloom in late spring, play a vital role in nature even into winter. By late summer, the hips provide nourishment for birds and other wildlife, helping to spread the plant further.
If you know more about these please share that in a comment. It’s still a reminder of how even on gloomy days, nature’s beauty and resilience shine through.
