These small wild strawberries look a bit unusual, but when properly ripe,
they taste wonderful.
The perfume does have a whiff of pinapple, so has the flavour.

Thanks, I never heard of them. Wonder if they are in the food markets
anywhere.

Lovely picture. What color do the strawberries get when ripe?

These strawberries won't make it to food markets, you need to pick a lot of
them to fill a punnet and, as is the custom with retail outlets, they
wouldn't be ripe when picked, so have no flavour.
The usual wild strawberry, is tiny + red and full of flavour, but not
available commercially.
I have just sown some more alpine strawberries, which are slightly bigger
than the wild, so hopefully will have some next year.
I grow them in raised beds, easier to pick :-)
The Pineapple strawberry is also classified as 'Alpine' as it is a tiny bit
bigger than the true wild strawberry.

You could grow them in pots on your roof :-)

That IS the final colour :-)

They start off white-ish green, then slowly get a yellowish tinge. If, when
pulled, they come off the plant very easily, they're ripe and are yummy.

There is a 'new' strawberry on the market called the Pineberry, but that has
red seeds, and isn't the same is the one in the photo.

Thanks Bob :-)
