Thank you for the compliment, Starwatcher.

And "wintergreen" was my guess on the berries, also, but I don't know enough to say with certainty. I've been meaning to do a little research, but you know how that goes. I bow to anyone on the forum with superior knowledge. Anyone?

The most recent trip (mid- to late-September) seems like it happened two years ago. (Appreciate db posting the photos to bring it all back.)

"I don't know," he said, feeling ignorant and embarrassed.

(Basically I took a zillion photos of plants and trees, and I resolved to come back and research them. Haven't been able to, yet.)

The key word is "yet."

I still intend to.

In the meantime, surely someone out there is a botanist, professional or otherwise?

That flower was on Fauquier, btw.

So, how does one differentiate between wintergreen and bearberry.

(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Wintergreen

Bearberry

I understand that Wintergreen is more of a ground cover plant, while Bearberry is more of a shrub, but I've seen pictures of Bearberry that look very much like a ground cover.  And based on the sample photos, it appears to me that the POD is Bearberry (leaf tip rounded) rather than Wintergreen (more pointed leaf tip).  Other than smelling the leaves, can anyone clear this up?

But, I guess the good news is ... both berries are edible and the leaves of both can be used to make a tea.

Thanks kypaddler and dd.

I know wintergreen and have seen bear berry.  I know wintergreen is good to eat and the bear berry looks good enough to eat.  Normally we see tons of wintergreen on our trips, but this year not a one.  Great photo!
