Vaccinium uliginosum, Bog Bilberry
North Korea issued a series of six stamps named WILD FLOWERS in 1966.
I don’t know how many of you had the joy of collecting bilberries on Simonside Hills near Rothbury but I can still remember the taste, after so many years, in the tarts my mother made..
The plant depicted on this stamp is related to those Bilberries of Simonside.
Another relative, Vaccinium ovatum, Huckleberry is mentioned in
