This native wildflower grows in moist wooded areas, and flowers June-July. Always love to see the berries, looking so pretty dotted with purple. These berries are edible, but should not be eaten in large quantities. The young shoots can be cooked and eaten like Asparagus. Photographed in Bragg Creek Natural Area on 10th September.

The leaves of this plant turn a wonderful golden colour at this time of year and the striped seedpods look so pretty against the yellow. Took this photo southwest of the city, but it is a very common species within the city, too.
