The celastraceae family is a diverse group of plants that includes various species such as the Oriental Staff Vine (Celastrus orbiculatus) and the European Spindle (Euonymus europaeus). These plants can be found in different habitats, from coastal scrubland to woodlands, showcasing their adaptability. One notable member of this family is the Oriental Staff Vine, which has become an introduced invasive species in New York State, USA. Its close-up fruit reveals its unique characteristics and adds a touch of vibrancy to the landscape. Another fascinating plant within the celastraceae family is Stackhousia. Dating back to 1803-06, it showcases intricate details through watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil. This artwork captures the beauty and complexity of these plants. The combination of Spindle leaves (Euonymus sp) with fallen European Beech leaves on a tree trunk creates a picturesque scene. It highlights nature's ability to intertwine different species harmoniously. In East Head Creek at West Wittering lies another example of the European Spindle thriving in coastal scrubland. The close-up view displays its leaf structure against a backdrop of lush greenery. Moving deeper into Vicarage Plantation in Mendlesham Suffolk unveils more wonders within this family. Close-ups reveal intricate details of both leaves and trunks belonging to the European Spindle growing amidst woodland surroundings. Traveling all the way to South Africa brings us face-to-face with Cape Saffron (Cassine peragua). Its captivating fruits and leaves showcase vibrant colors against an African backdrop during August. As autumn arrives in Vicarage Plantation once again, we witness how even Euonymus europaeus transforms into stunning shades when displaying its fruits and leaves up-close amidst woodland foliage.
