Notes from the artist:
Rubus spectabilis is edible, providing food in various stages for all creatures, with the same fruit structure as a raspberry. Made into jams, candy jelly or wine, they were an important food for indigenous people. Traditionally the berries were eaten with salmon, but they also look rather like salmon roe or caviar. Its beautiful magenta flower is absolutely stunning.
