My newest potted plant! Wintergreen! I heard the berries are edible! I love how Christmassy it looks!

As a child, 70 years ago i can remember my Grandfather picking some for us on a camping/fishing trip with me and my mother, in West Virginia.
It was much stronger than the Beemans Wintergreen gum!

Wow, that's cool. People used to forage a lot more in those days. My great grandmother used to take my mom mushroom hunting. She knew how to tell which ones were safe to eat.
