This should have been posted three days ago, forgive me, it's either do a blog entry or water our flowers.
This is the first ripe strawberry of the year, the variety is 'Pikan'.
Pikan is an ornamental strawberry, grown in our greenhouse, and it's the only strawberry I know which has pink flowers. It's a great trailing plant for mixed containers -trails lots, has a nice colour bloom, the foliage is a beautiful deep shiny green, and you get a little treat every few days all summer long! Yummy.
The first field berries will be ripe soon, btw
