| thimbleberry (rubus parviflorus). a couple of books about native plants call the taste "insipid" which makes me wonder whether the writers have ever tasted it fresh. it's my favourite native berry. one needs to eat it right off the bush, it's too fragile to transport; it usually breaks while one picks it -- i suppose one could make jam, but i've never tried. but oh yum. a burst of citrusy berry, sweet and tart and fresh. and the cane has no thorns. and the large fuzzy leaves make great outdoors toiletpaper. yeah, i am sure y'all wanted to know that, but hey. |
