at one time i was walking along a trail in the local park that is mostly forest and there were some wild roses growing along the edge with these beautiful big rose hips. so i picked some and brought them home and put them in a small bottle. not too long after that there were all sort of bugs in the bottle.
it has been many years now since that and i don't have a specific memory of what those bugs looked like but that sure did make me leery of harvesting rose hips and drying them down inside. however i really should go harvest some and cut them open and use the skin for some vitamin C in the winter.
