April 26: Red

Wild strawberries are so neat because they're unexpected. Just a normal, grassy weedy area like a park, and suddenly there are these bright red fruits growing there.



Another red I keep running across, a new one to me, is red buckeye. It grows chestnuts, apparently, but usually doesn't reach tree size. The ones I've seen have been in swampy areas, shrub-sized with large, shiny serrated leaves and distinctive shoots of narrow brick-red flowers.
