I found some other berries that weren't anywhere close to anything on the internet but I think I have found those ones here on your site... the red / orange juicy spongy berries that are questionable whether or not you can eat them.

They are excellent added to any tea and one little rose hip has 10 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. You can also mix them into jams for a new delicate taste. ie. rosehip/mintAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-55192819327297749732009-08-09T17:11:46.453-07:002009-08-09T17:11:46.453-07:00Excellent!

I wonder if the one in my picture is living off the roots of that blueberry?Gardenistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129253261044774675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-72807541438321370602009-08-09T16:07:27.390-07:002009-08-09T16:07:27.390-07:00Lisa, I think your mystery berry may be a northern...Lisa, I think your mystery berry may be a northern comandra (Geocaulon lividum/Comandra livida).

It is growing in the walkways and in - what will soon be- my flower beds. I would like to know what it is before I just rip it out and cast it away. If anyone would like to try and help me, I can send a picture, I would really appreciate it.

I love to see the small plants and how vigorous they are while knowing they are so small because of the severe weather. I think this makes them more precious. That edible seeking tool is precious too.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-36197818383148254182008-09-03T18:34:00.000-07:002008-09-03T18:34:00.000-07:00Very interesting post, as of course all those berr...Very interesting post, as of course all those berries are not native here in the Caribbean. We could grow some, if you had a cool, shaded spot or lived in the mountains. The blueberries look delish.Tirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253130857755408695noreply@blogger.com
