| | | 3 Autumn ID's
Morning All,
The first was a tree growing in a Local nature reserve...the fruits made me wonder exactly what it was. 
The nest flower was found in woodland, the actual flower has started to go to seed. It's leaf is shown below.  
The final flower is I believe a seedhead but of which plant I am unsure. Again the leaf is included below.  
Many Thanks
Jacob |

Hi Jacob.
Don't know the first one.
2. Looks like Wood Sage Teucrium scorodonia.
3. Looks like Herb Bennet Geum urbanum. |

Just looked closer....there are some yellow fruiting Crab-apples, and the leaves are right for Malus species....

The first looks like a pyracantha. I have one like that in my garden. I could be wrong. |

I agree with Kayleigh, this is Pyracantha ‘Soleil d’Or’. |

What size are the fruits on the first one? - difficult to tell. |

First one is a pyracantha which has probably been seeded by a bird. Birds love the berries.

It does look quite similar to the Pyracantha " Soleil d'or" but I'm not convinced it is one. The foliage + bark don't look quite right- still looks like a Malus to me. Also Pyracantha are spiny + I don't see any spines here!
If you google image for Malus "Golden Hornet" some make a good match. | | | |
