We actually treat them like weeds in gardens as they take over and choke everything but they are notoriously difficult to eradicate - as well as very prickly (thick gloves are order of the day). Having said all that the fruit is delicious and our season for them is September. Find a hedgerow and go picking from nature's larder. Apple and blackberry pie or crumble, blackberry jam, bramble jelly.PeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115466250736964226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-20905275153882264882010-06-14T10:05:45.646-05:002010-06-14T10:05:45.646-05:00Miss Linda, If you look closely at Indian Paintbru...Miss Linda, If you look closely at Indian Paintbrush, it looks very much like a brush that has been dipped in orange paint:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-70540386139804208862010-06-14T09:10:44.742-05:002010-06-14T09:10:44.742-05:00Oh, I do love wildflowers with their merry faces.Oh, I do love wildflowers with their merry faces.LadyFihttp://ladyfi.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7523269614643731102010-06-13T21:56:20.086-05:002010-06-13T21:56:20.086-05:00Your wildflower posts are very interesting -- I se...Your wildflower posts are very interesting -- I see many pretty flowers in the ditches and had no idea what they were...

What are the plants characteristics? do you think it is an import and not a native? I love the intrigue and investigation of what is out there almost more than knowing what it is. Bet and I had a good time figuring out a tree in our back yard that I had figured was something it really wasn't. It is leaning over instead of being upright, that added to the challenge of figuring it out. <br /><br />Glad you had a good garage sale and that it is over.Lannyhttp://www.itsthedirt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-14983692472087186452010-06-13T17:41:00.567-05:002010-06-13T17:41:00.567-05:00Yes, I am fairly certain those are blackberry bush...Yes, I am fairly certain those are blackberry bushes and flowers you photographed.
