Lovely!

That's so crazy!

I visited Oregon a few years ago for my little sister's wedding and one thing I really liked was all the wild blackberry bushes growing everywhere.

They're great at harvest time, otherwise, not so much. It’s actually an aggressively invasive variety from south Asia; the native evergreen blackberries are getting crowded out.

My favorite flower.

My absolute favorite flower. I am made of jealous.

I know, right? And sometimes they bloom as early as December.

Take that, Wisconsin! (It's the state flower.)
