Fruit Crop poor

This is supposed to be the time when the Rubus fruticosus (Bramble) is fruiting but this year is terrible. I did find Dewberry (Rubus caesius) in fruit along the River Wall along the River Waveney. Star plant today though was the Dipsacus fullonum (Teasel) Shown here. they flower from the middle slowly covering the heads. Although there was plenty of Buddlija davidii (Butterfly Bush) there was nothing lepidopteran nectaring. In fact the whole walk produced just two Whites.
