Wine berry richness and leaning into silly hiking fits on these hot daze. 🥾👣👒 🍄‍🟫✨their scientific name, Rubus phoenicolasius sounds like a quirky teacher at Hogwarts and I’m here for it ⚡️
Rubus” is Latin for bramble, and “phoenicolasius” is derived from the Greek “phoinix” meaning “purplish-red” and “lasios” meaning “hairy” or “shaggy”. Therefore, Rubus phoenicolasius translates to “shaggy, purplish-red bramble,” which is pretty on point.

These always make me think of home and gathering them with my family and friends growing up. Wild berries usually have more concentrated antioxidants and medicinal constituents than mega farmed ones. Obvy no pesticides etc too. Plus, fruit will always be the most nutritious fresh fresh fresh and not in the system traveling 2000 miles to get to you. If you get to climb through a bramble, stain your hands and laugh at yourself while getting them, all the better.
And, eating them right off the floricane 🌿🤓when they are all warm from the summers sun, chefs kiss👩🏻‍🍳💋

In medieval times, knights sipped borage-infused wine to lift their spirits before heading into battle. The star-shaped blue blossoms were believed to spark vitality and lighten the heart—an herbal ally for courage, clarity, and heartful presence. 💙💪✨
