Red Flowering Currant
This bush will bear edible berries, but they aren't particularly tasty, so few people pick them these days. They tend to be somewhat astringent and have many seeds. Pacific Northwest natives used to eat them, but even then, they weren't a preferred food source and were often mixed with other foods to make them more palatable.

"Ribes sanguineum" is a species of flowering plant in the family Grossulariaceae, native to western coastal North America from central British Columbia south to central California.
