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.

    1. lol - and in the most unlikely place. I was in the middle of a "Free Ride Park" (a mountain bike course for crazy kids who like to go over tall jumps and fly around tight corners. Since it was fairly early on a weekday there was only one biker there, otherwise it might have been a dangerous place to be :p. Posted 10 years ago
      1. I know what that is like. Every forest in the Netherlands is plagued by such bikers. Posted 10 years ago
