Snow Berries…

I am cheating a teeny bit today, as these lovely berries are not mine, they belong to my neighbour…

If I can’t have snow, I can borrow some snow berries…

      Native Americans used the plant as a medicine and soap, and occasionally for food, and the wood was good for arrow shafts. In Russia, the berries are crushed in the hands and rubbed about for a soothing folk-remedy hand lotion. They don’t recommend eating them…

    Snowberries are a native plant where I live. There are thickets of them in parks. I have some at my place. They do tend to spread by running roots, so I look at them as a mixed blessing. Your neighbour’s look better than mine.

        I didn’t know about the hand lotion use. Maybe will try it?

    There used to be a bush growing in the woods near where I grew up. I always thought they were lovely.
