production and reproduction

the season is getting along and i found the first local wild berry bloom yesterday...which i thought was a bit early but looking back is right on time...still..they have catching up to do...
there are multiple blooms and blooms to be on the new york imports on the north end by the russian olive...
and the east bed is home to multiple blooms as well so there will be berries in all three import patches which is encouraging...
once again, however, it is the south bed that is leading the way...this particular plant...
has generated five of the six stolons in this photo as the south bed berries take aim at the jerusalem artichokes' territory once again...
they are not stinting on the blooms down south either...there will be berries for the birds to spread seed and daughters on the march to colonize the beds...there will be stolon madness in the other beds as the weather warms...right now the south bed is the warmest and sunniest...give them time...they know what to do.
