Poland in photo riddles

It looks like an attempt at a limousine created by Skoda or Lada back in the 1980s

Nope, it was made in Poland, but not by Skoda or Lada. Look at its front, it`s the same as the original car, mass produced here.

As for Lech Wałęsa, no, but you are close, think about another guy who often met (with) Wałęsa in 1980s.

Polski Fiat?
Jaruzelski?

Yes, Polski Fiat 125p. Point for you.

Not Jaruzelski, another guy who was on much friendlier terms with Wałęsa than Jaruzelski.

In the meantime:

What is this tree, quite rare in Poland?

Yes, but Chestnuts are a broad family, which one exactly?

Sorry, no, horse chestnuts are another genus than true chestnuts. Besides, I said that tree is very rare here, while horse chestnuts are common. But you get a point for perseverance. :)

Bonus
If we talk about plants, are there any gardeners and orchard owners here?
How is this raspberry called?

How is this raspberry called?

Is it called Polana, a particularly large variety? Btw, it's "what' is this called, not 'how' is this called - I only mention it because your English is so fluent, you obviously really like the language and I'd think you'd want to be alerted to this heinous crime :)) You're using the literal translation from the Polish 'jak' - this we must never do!

Yes.

No, not Polana which is red, like a regular raspberry. Look at the colour of mine.
Thanks for this how, yes, silly mistake, I was very tired yesterday, I cancelled my last tutorial and came back home earlier than usual.

Is it a Polish variety of rasp or is it that it's simply grown in Poland?

You poor old pet, never mind, spring is coming and you should get a nice rush of energy :)

Its origin isn`t Polish, that is why I offered the riddle hoping someone else from our circle knows or even grows it.

Yes, especially when final exams are over. :):)

Well if it's purple, which it appears to be, then it seems that it would be either Royalty or Brandywine. Have you eaten the pictured rasp? If so, could you say something about the flavour, sweet or tart?
OP pawian  221 | 25273  
26 Feb 2019 /  #2058
Actually it is both. :)

No, it is not Royalty or Brandywine. It is Glen Coe, advertised as American invention. They have strange flavour so I am not going to multiply my original 4 bushes. I prefer golden rasps, the sweetest of all.

Fruit continued: this is not a strawberry. What then?

The fruit looks more raspberry than strawberry like as the seeds aren't on the outside. Wild raspberry? Don't think it's a loganberry as the fruit is the wrong shape.

Still stumped with the penguin shot, it doesn't look as if it's about to jump as it looks to be facing the wrong way.

Who is advertising it as American? It was bred in the Scotland by a Welshman! Dr Derek Jennings, born in Wales 1929. Here's a pic of the man himself with a different one of his rasps:

He was head of the Scottish Crop Research Institute where he and his team developed the Glen range of rasps, the Glen Coe appearing in 1988.

Actually, it was ready to jump. Why?

Sorry, no, but you are close with those two species. :)

Yes, you are right. I am trying to find this US origin now but can`t. I was pretty sure of it, now I see it was a mistake. Probably because I always order 2, 3 dozen plants at a time and I could somehow associate it with American blueberry.

Which fruit bush turns so red in autumn? Again, no tricks.

There is a plant called a strasberry, which is halfway between the two, it's not that is it?

Sorry, no, it is not a hybrid but a seperate species.

But for your typically Polish persistence, another picture: :)

What is going on?
