Mountain Berries
On a mountain hike in Montana a few weeks ago, we came across a few patches of berries growing near to the ground, next to the trail. They seemed too large to be a huckleberry, and were not growing on a bush like a blueberry.
This post may be linked to one of the great link-up parties I follow and list on my blog. Check them out!

Hmmm. I have no idea, but now you have my curious!
ReplyDeleteTake a peek at Lynn C's answer Carlee - I think she might know her berries!
DeleteSusan, these look like Oregon blueberries. We once collected enough to make some wonderful jelly. They are a light blue color and grow all over around here in the hills. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI trust your opinion Lynn! Wish you had been with me that day - perhaps then I would have gathered some!
DeleteThey look good. Did you taste test them?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no. I am quite cautious about tasting anything I'm not certain I can identify in the wild, as there are just too many "look alikes" that could be poisonous.
DeleteI have no idea what they are - but I have seen them here too. I hope you find out and share with us!
ReplyDeleteI think Lynn C may be right, Lana. I found a description of wild blueberries that grow like ground cover (I always thought they grew on a shrub!), and it describes them as being "dark blue, with a white, dusty "frosting" of wax on the outside " which is exactly how these berries appeared. Here's the link:

I don't have any idea either. Being from the South I'm sure we don't have anything like that around here! I'm interested in hearing what it is when you find out!
ReplyDeleteSee Lynn C.'s answer and my reply to Lana. The mystery of the berries may be solved!
DeleteHuh. Never saw those before. Mind you, I live in the prairies . . . :)
