Reported in flower

No flowering season shown here. The weeks are still too uncertain to show a season.

Reported in fruit

Usually reported in fruit late June to early October, middle week Aug 30 – Sep 5.

From 150 records that show fruit. Not every photo of a plant in fruit is marked as fruiting, so this shows when people reported it in fruit, not when it fruits.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
