Oregon Blackberry
A delicious berry that now grows all over the state like weeds is in season. You can see the different stages of the fruit in this image. The western side of Oregon is so prolific that it is rare that you don't see them growing along side every path and road that is not mowed or developed.
''Rubus armeniacus'', Armenian Blackberry or Himalayan Blackberry, is a species of ''Rubus'' in the blackberry group ''Rubus'' subgenus ''Rubus'' series ''Discolores'' Focke. It is native to Armenia and Northern Iran, and widely naturalised elsewhere. Both its scientific name and origin have been the subject of much confusion, with much of the literature using one or the other of the two synonyms, and often mistakenly citing its origin as western European.
