This is the one solitary apple that has grown on my lone apple tree this year. As the title might suggest, this is an old type of apple, a Worcester Pearmain. Nice name, the only reason I bought the tree and planted it - oooh - three years ago. I haven't done anything to the tree since, no spraying or pruning, nothing, so perhaps I've got what I deserve! It doesn't look exactly appetising but I'm going to have to eat it. Because it's there.
Afternote: I tried the apple, it was fragrant and delicious. Totally belied by it's appearance.
Soon be ready for this year's opium harvest - not! Nice flowers though. Anyway this is a 'Norman' type Papaver somniferum, Laciniatum Group which will not yield any opiate substances, although it is widely held that eating foods with poppy seed will give a false positive if you are tested for 'substances'!
