I
am so delighted when I come across a plant in the woods which William Bartram
identified. As he came through our neck of the woods in 1773, he found a
beautiful vine with shiny blue-black berries. The name of that “Greenbrier“has
been given to much in the community, but, bless his heart, I’m thinking if
William had to pull that prickly green thing from HIS flower beds, he would
have named it something NOT SO NICE.
The
Bartram Trails are well publicized across most states. We have a well kept
secret one near our house. It’s marked, but let me know if you can’t find it.
