Happy Father’s Day
Today we honor Dad with the purple flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus). It is found in moist, shady woodlands and along wood edges in northeastern U.S. It is a great food source for both birds and butterflies. Unlike other raspberries, this species has bristles, but no thorns.
Almost anywhere you look, you can find some type of common raspberry bushes, and likewise, there are millions of men who are fathers. But this particular raspberry is special and unique, just like the man we each call ‘Dad’.
