Salmonberry

Far fewer guesses were posted than I had hoped, but I won't keep you in suspense further.


The mystery fruit in the previous post is a Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) of the family Rosaceae [Wikipedia].

Thanks again to Jodie for help in identifying this plant.

I sent you a message that these looked like fisheggs and you laughed at me. If they are salmonberries, then fisheggs was right on the mark!

I didn't laugh at you; I simply observed that fish eggs don't have those little stems you see in the picture. The resemblance to fish eggs is striking otherwise; but they're not fish eggs.
