blueberry

Have you eaten fresh blueberries lately? They are so very much in season and sure enough, DELICIOUS!

There are few botanical materials that are available in the market which fascinates me every time I see them and blueberries are one of those. Perhaps it's because I know them too well as fruits and not as floral material. Seeing cute plumpy clusters of berries on the gorgeous green branches delights me every year!
Needless to say, it is one of our favorite material to use when they are in season.

They(growers) do cut them before all of the berries turn blue (so berries don't easily fall off during transportation etc), so majority of the berries are green with hint of blue ones. And yes, blue ones are edible! ( personally tested. yum!) I do suggest washing them before eating.







By the way, it's July 4th today!
Happy Birthday America!

Enjoy the great holiday weekend everyone!
