Growing Through
The plant shown is a wild-growing specimen of the ubiquitous European Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus). When loose in the wild (as here), it is an amazingly successful, hardy, difficult plant that seems to grow anywhere and everywhere. Its shoots grow really fast--a couple of meters in a couple of spring months. The thorns are numerous and sharp. I learned the hard way that you have to wear heavy gloves to deal with the shoots.
Location: Among some old machinery in "indefinite, long-term outdoor storage." Kreiterhof, near the village of Nebenau, District of Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg DE.
In my album: Dan's Weed World.
