Sometimes we miss what is right before of us. 
Who knew?
The strawberry leaf is a source of vitamin C, tannins, minerals and antioxidants.  The leaves have been harvested and used medicinally for centuries for many health benefits or can simply be enjoyed as a delicious summer-time hot or cold drink.

The strawberry is a cherished fruit but the leaf endures.    
Groups of three.
The strawberry leaf.
A symbol of trinity.

Rose hip, rose haw, rose hep!
Call it what you may, it's the fruit of the rose.
Usually red to orange in colour, some species range from dark purple to black.  Rose hips have a high content of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and iron and may be used fresh or dried in countless recipes.  Sip a cup of rose hip tea, enjoy a glass of refreshing rose hip punch or rose hip wine, smother your pancakes in rose hip syrup or if you are brave, indulge in a bowl of Swedish rose hip soup.

Le fruit du palmier

The palm tree, not a true tree, found throughout the world in hot climates from deserts to rainforests, gives forth an amazing variety of fruit.  There are over two thousand kinds of palm trees and in historical times they were symbols for peace, victory and fertility. The fruit in this painting from a palm tree in Mexico portrays a glowing example of the ripening of the fruit.  Easy to see how it's simple beauty inspired thoughts of peace, victory and fertility.
