ya know, for the first couple of years here, i had been eating them and picking them when still red and thought they were raspberries...then last year, didn't get to picking them and they turned a very dark blueish black....

so I also think they are wild blackberries...perhaps I have both?

And no, it is not too late for raspberries here, not that I am aware? shoot we still have temps in the 50's at night!

some strange bush that is everywhere, with pretty yellow flowers... I have no idea what wild bush/flower it is?

 

[Care4all]

Wild daises are everywhere on the edge of the road...

 

[Care4all]

and HELP!

what in the heck is this big leafed plant?

 

[strollingbones]

thistle?

raspberries can be black. blackberries have more seeds or ours do...i will have to see what is blooming around here

 

[Care4all]

Does thistle have pink ball shape flowers with prickly sticks or thorns around them?

This plant eventually will have these pink balled bloom with thorns...?

Here's another one for ya Bones....this purple thing....

it ends up having a pea pod or bean pod thing that is all black and dried....

The leaf is the one between the two blooms on the right in this pic below...
