how it is

Wet spindle flowers

The spindle (euonymus europaeus) is a native hedgerow plant, which has been known as prickwood, skewerwood (due to being made into toothpicks) and the pincushion shrub. We planted several around the garden two or three years ago, as it's good for wildlife, and this year it's covered in dainty flowers. Apparently the berries are poisonous.
