This photo was taken at the north end of Hog Lake, near the Hog Canyon Falls. The bush in the foreground is Golden Currant.

Golden Currant or Spicebush is a shrub native to this area. It is flowering now and will soon be producing its beautiful golden-orange fruit. We were hiking yesterday at Hog Lake and saw it there but hope to grow some in our garden from cuttings. The birds like the fruit, however, and it is usually hard to find any when they are ripe.

These are the flowers of the Golden Currant, a native shrub. We are trying to grow some from cuttings for our garden.

Hiking yesterday we were hiking and took these photos of the Golden Currant, a native shrub with edible fruit, though getting the fruit before the birds do is difficult.

This is one of our native shrubs, Ribes inerme, the White-stemmed Gooseberry, edible and very tasty. Photographed at Dry Falls State Park in eastern Washington, it was loaded with fruit when photographed.

The Red-flowering Currant is one of our spring-blooming native shrubs. It was everywhere when we were on on Monday the 16th and both of use took too many photos of it.

The Red-flowering Currant, Ribes sanguineum, is not only a common shrub in our area but is often found as a garden plant. It grows from sea-level to very high elevations and is usually found in open woods. The berries, though edible, are tasteless.

This unusual orchid is from Ecuador and Colombia and is named for its fancied resemblance to the fruits of the Ribes family. It is a tiny plant only a few inches tall with even smaller flowers. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/08/lepanthes-jewels-...

Also used as a garden plant, this beautiful shrub is native to the Pacific Northwest. We found these growing in the woods at Sharpe Park, but had trouble photographing them in the wind that was blowing. Red-flowering Currant is Ribes sanguineum. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/sharpe-park...
