Home-grown strawberry

This was brought back from the hill resort, Cameron Highlands, which is about 1500 metres above sea level.

It looks very different than the strawberries we are used to, the leaves are the same. Looks mighty tasty though.

Oh Lordy Lee, what great memories I have of the Cameron Highlands. We used to go up there for a break from the heat and humidity. So many years ago. Nice picture.

Hi Lee: Beautiful colour but doesn't look like the strawberries we're used to seeing here.

A bit "lumpier" than local strawberries. We have fields and fields of them around here as the area where I live is an agricultural area and commercial strawberry growing one of it's main crops. Our season begins in Feb. and just ended a week or 2 ago. fortunately thee are some small local growers who will provide fruit at small stands for a few months yet.

Reminds me a bit of "salmon berries" which are a wild berry that grows in our forests.

Thank you all for your comments. When we bought the plant, it was your normal strawberry but I guess the heat in Taiping has stunted its growth and we end up with a dwarf. It's still very pretty though.

Looks better thanthe local ones. Once I learned that the little seeds atop of ours were their sex organs, I immediately lost interest in having them any where near me!
