Buckeyes are called "conkers"... Hi, Nance. Buckeyes are called "conkers" over here if you mean the brown things resting on a tree stump.

The red berries are the fruit of the Rowan or Mountain Ash tree.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-71046149146005748312013-10-20T02:13:41.454+01:002013-10-20T02:13:41.454+01:00I know the Buckeyes (you call them that?) and I th...I know the Buckeyes (you call them that?) and I think the purple bloom is a type of Geranium? but what are the red berries?

The black background was provided by the shady side of some dense conifers. Even so there were some distracting little highlights in amongst the blackness, but that was easily removed in the computer.<br />Stewart: Good to hear from you.
