metamorphosing

the new york imports have produced an abundance of blooms so far this season...
and the local berries have accelerated their output in an effort to catch up...
cousins continue to find one another in the patches...
these three i found on the fifteenth have already been fertilized and lost their petals as the process of becoming berries begins...
this new yorker...
and this local show how the calyx closes around what was the "pearlie" portion of the bloom to make the berry metamorphosis a mystery...
the stolon i pinned in a safer place is behaving itself and staying put...
this one however has made a break for it...fleeing the bed...intrepid colonist...time to find a pot.
