Emmenopterys henryi.   

[David King]

Emmenopterys henryi is flowering at the Cambridge Botanic Garden for the first time in thirty years.  Apparently it is in flower for about ten days and as you will see from the photo is only the fifth time in the UK.  Below is the link to the CBG web site page.

Ooooh, but that makes the puzzle soooo much easier 

black and blue berries are on Viburnum, but most of them here flower in spring?

[David King]

No not Viburnum.

Here's another one, probably not as difficult.

A nest of alien eggs waiting to hatch and take over the world. 

No idea, but I think my description is fairly accurate.
