Another opinion-<br /><br />Trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus)<br />Our only native blackberry winds a sweet but vicious vine through brushy open places seeking sun and it’s called “vegetable barbed wire” for its delicate but determined prickles.<br /><br />http://www.parentmap.com/article/summer-urban-foraging-pick-wild-berries-in-local-parks<br /><br />I first heard that nickname from experts on the Gardenweb Northwest forum.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-37128554831524592722012-03-10T01:47:47.579-08:002012-03-10T01:47:47.579-08:00Jenny- Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting....Jenny- Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.

They only grow in this one Red Cedar that has branches to the ground, for some weird reason. They probably don't get enough sun there. I like the thimble berries more for a sweet taste and really small seeds. The native blackberries are also very flavorful for their small size. They make the rampant vines everywhere but don't fruit everywhere. One vine always fruits well in my wire cage around my York Elderberry, for some reason, so I leave it alone to get a few berries.:-PHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-3355675966688928102011-07-17T19:00:00.763-07:002011-07-17T19:00:00.763-07:00Oh, this is the first salmon berry I have seen, re...Oh, this is the first salmon berry I have seen, real or photographed, since I was perhaps maybe 14. We lived in SE Alaska, the hills covered with salmon berries. I remember as a child picking the berries, the yellow ones made me pucker and the red right sweet.

So many lovely Camellias! I used to live in San Diego, it was a lot like South Africa. I have a couple of Camellia sasanqua's that are supposed to bloom in winter here but I must abuse them terribly because they never do.:-(Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-18962570319786639312011-07-16T04:38:21.393-07:002011-07-16T04:38:21.393-07:00I love the Crocosmia 'Lucifer' - I'm a...I love the Crocosmia 'Lucifer' - I'm about to plant these in my garden too.
