(Fragaria chiloensis)
Strawberries of the Pacific Northwest, what is cooler than munching on sweet tart shinny red little jewels on the beach or along the trail in dry forests. It is also fun to know that strawberry leaves are a high source of vit C, making them useful all year round if you have planted plenty. The leaves are often additions to teas.
