Lovely Lars
Year ago I found some of these growing wild and the flavour of the fruit was 10x better than any "normal" strawberry
I inherited a patch in my garden when I moved house. They are "ok" but not as good as the ones I remembered

Thanks Colin - I have many berries this year but the ~~birds~~ slugs are quicker than me

Maybe the experience itself of finding wild berries also adds to the flavour

Lars, thank you for the details. I hope people to find a good use for them. Some species seem to be valued even for medical purposes.

The blue ones are pretty, too!

Thanks Akira - added one more shot of the blue ones

Correct, and the Ground elder was brought to Northern Europe as a medicinal herb by monks in the middle ages.

I suspect these might be buds rather than flowers....but they were certainly Li'l

ColinM · « **Reply #113 on:** June 04, 2023, 21:22:51 »

More flowers from the other day here in the garden

A sort of "not so l'il flowers with li'l flowers" $:-\$ Only the inner small flowers are fertile. The outer larger white flowers are sterile.

A Viburnum species - Japanese Snowball as far as I understand.
