OH salmonberries! those are on par with thimbleberries in my book which are basically mythical foods as i've only ever found a few during travels to the pacific coast! makes each one all the more special.

cool to hear your aunt dried the flowers for teas- i was just wondering about that today as they smell sooo good. i'll look further into that. i imagine the tea is really nice. i love how plants, like elder, are known around the world and make it into so many memories for humans of all cultures. that makes me happy! :)
