Fairybells in the forest

In the woods beside Woodhus Creek, the summer flowers are gone; it's berry time.

These are Hooker's fairybells, aka drops-of-gold, Prosartes hookeri.

The berries start off yellow, and ripen to red. Some BC First Nations people ate them, but most think they're poisonous. I haven't tasted them. I will, someday when I'm feeling adventurous.

The berries are finely hairy.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
