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 -- 09=ix |

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 "Garrapata" wrote in message ... On Sun, 20 May 2007 19:22:42 -0700, "pe.rhodes" wrote: ditto, although that's a bramble in the middle of it.

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