Description
I took this shot on a rainy day and found out in surprise this unknown berries plant from next door neighbor. I love the raindrops dangling at the tip of the red currant berry.
The redcurrant or red currant (Ribes rubrum) is a member of the genus Ribes in the gooseberry family. It is native to parts of western Europe (Belgium, Great Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, northern Italy, northern Spain, Portugal and Poland)
Ribes rubrum is a deciduous shrub normally growing to 1 - 1.5 m (3.3 - 4.9 ft) tall, occasionally 2 m (7 ft), with five-lobed leaves arranged spirally on the stems. The flowers are inconspicuous yellow-green, in pendulous 4 - 8 cm (2 - 3 in) racemes, maturing into bright red translucent edible berries about 8 - 12 mm (0.3 - 0.5 in) diameter, with 3 - 10 berries on each raceme.
