Ripe gooseberries


Gooseberry bushes are common in our woodlands but I don't often see the fruit when it is ripe enough to show a dark color like this.  Usually when I see the berries they are still green.  Probably this is the common species Ribes missouriense.  I sampled the berry and it was rather tasteless.  This photo taken at Celery Bog Park, July 3, 2015.
