Flowers of the Rock: A Flora-logue of Newfoundland

Partridgeberry (Vaccinium vitis idaea) is a wild shrub popular for the tart red berries it produces in the fall. It normally grows in large clumps with dozens of nodding pink flowers, but I loved this tiny little plant growing alone between two rocks, reminding me of the partridgeberry pancakes I had eaten for breakfast.
