Fragaria virginiana /American wild strawberry

Thanks, Karen. There are lots of local wild strawberries growing nearby, and I wonder if these two species eventually cross (and produce something new and interesting!)

This year, I planted several strawberry species and varieties in my parents' yard, including the common garden strawberry Fragaria ananassa. Then there is a red alpine (Ruegen), yellow alpine (Yellow wonder) and white alpine (White soul)... The good things is, these all produce well even in cooler weather conditions. Hope to have a distinct strawberry garden in a few years, with fragrant berries in every corner.
