Most of what is in the picture has grown over the last three years. And it's mostly on top of large rocks, the border of their bed.

Gotta deadhead those flowers when they crop up, though they are pretty.

Dead heading is to remove spent blooms so the plant doesn’t waste energy making seeds and will continue to bloom.

It’s in the name itself.

But the fruit is delicious! Just be sure to be careful of the sharp little hairs (glochids), they're no fun to get out of your skin.
