Fruitful plants
Our town has just completed a natural resource inventory. Every time my husband and I are out and about walking on the property we discover a new plant. Now many of the plants that flowered earlier in the spring are now bearing fruits (not edible to humans) of various sizes, shapes and colors. Ah! I wish I had my Uncle Paul’s botany skills. Uncle Paul was a botanist in Zug, Switzerland. I met him when I was eighteen and an au paire for the summer. He showed me pages and pages of his notebooks filled with pressed plants and notations. As I child I used to excel at memorizing the names of things, but now with a fuzzier memory it can be a struggle.
On our evening walk the other day I spotted this plant with white fruits that look like yogurt covered raisins.
