RE: Sea Daffodil season

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

There are so many beautiful plants growing on sand dunes (where they were not replaced by some Acacia or "Carpobroutus* species). Do you had the chance to see Corema album (camarinha or camarinheira in Portuguese) and taste their white sweet fruits? I absolutely recommend it if you have the chance"

There was Carpobroutus around there too, but not too much. Mostly some grasses.

Do you had the chance to see Corema album

I don't think I have seen them. Not this time for sure. And even if I did I would never guess the fruits are edible!
We have some bush in Poland with white fruits like that and it is toxic (Common snowberry - Symphoricarpos albus). Also mistletoe... so white berries somehow don't look edible to me :D

That is completely understandable!! I don't usually recommend picking wild fruits, but in this case you can't go wrong. You can check some photos here and see its distribution also.
I looked for the common snowberry in Inaturalist and it seems we have some in Portugal too, which is not good at all due to its invasive behaviour :/ Thanks for your sharing, I was not aware of this plant in Portugal.

We both learned something :)
