Gooseberry (ribes indecorum)

Gooseberry, originally uploaded by andrethegiant.

Spring is here officially. The flowers are blooming and it is spring break.

The photo is of a california native gooseberry (ribes indecorum). We've got it growing underneath our chinese elm. With such a horrible invasive tree, it's good to have some native shade-loving plants like this gooseberry and the heuchera.
