Vaccineum vitis-idaea in flower now.

This is a really pretty evergreen flowering sub-shrub, relative of the cranberry and blueberry.

That is really pretty, Karen - is it edible like its relatives?

Yes Karen. It is also known as Lingonberry. I think that is the berry they use in juice at Ikea isn't it?

I've definitely heard of it but I can't think where - that's going to annoy me now...another 'super fruit', I think!

I was right...here it is! http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10124694/
