This one is a European Huckleberry, and it grows wild around here, even on
the beach dunes in sand.


I thought maybe Geranium robertianum, hard to tell from the picture
though.
Also - why do you think the Huckleberry is introduced, the picture looks
like the native Vaccinium ovatum, and I believe you have some other
species up there

While I can tolerate "Evergreen Huckleberry", I am afraid that "California
Huckleberry" offends me, being born here in Washington, and attending UW.
Every time I hear "California" the hair stands up on the back of my neck...
Whilst "European...." doesn't have that effect :)

Sometimes, we just dig up a patch of the yard, put it in a hanging bucket
that has lost it's origional occupant, and voila!

That works...I like the moss, makes it look like it was growing there
forever

At Westport, Washington State, 125 degrees west, 47 degrees north (or
so...)





Blackberry vine, wild strawberry, and what I think is filaree, a
species of Erodium. We use one kind of Erodium as a weed in
California. I don't know which kind, though.

The pink flower is Herb Robert in Britain. Also known as Death-come-quickly,
Robin's eye, Robin hood, Robin-i'-th'-hedge, Stinking Bob, Stinker Bobs,
Wren flower. It's a wild geranium.
