Oh thank you very much, it is :)
it looks like it might be Staphylea species
kako dobro :-) zavidim na tom iskustvu! biljke se ne kreću pa mi bilo lakše doći do njih, a poslije sam se zaljubila u botaniku...
Koje uzbuđenje samo za determinaciju jedne biljčice, ja se ubih sa nekim bubetinama iz pustinje, nikako pa nikako, ali to mi je nekako važnije jer volim doznat da sam imala u ruci nešto opasno, po mogućnosti smrtonosno :D biljčice još ne grizu, pa njih malo olako shvaćam :P
super, čekam listove :-) baš su lijepi plodovi!
Grm, nemam :( ali mogu ic na isto mjesto za mjesec dana :)
stablo, grm ili zeljasta biljka? jel imaš sliku lista?
