The Wild Fruits

I specifically wanted a wild rose in my yard, not sure which

one exactly but I do believe I picked one that could take shade.

Now if only I can find the receipt.

We've had some sunshine off and on and wow is it nice,

although we've had colder weather it isn't horrid.
Mid 30's to mid 40's isn't the worst temps ever

and have allowed me to get out - I need that sunshine.

I also planted this native Oregon Grape. Yes I know it isn't really
a grape, the name is for the cluster of berries.
This plant is actually a Mahonia of the barberry family, both

plants have medicinal uses. This one in particular

has been used for inflammation. I LOVE it for

improving blackberry jam, oh my gosh it is WONDERFUL!
