July 3, 2009 Southeastern New Hampshire White flower and red berries not yet on plant, but leaves can be used in salads or to make tea. Notice the glossy leaves and redish upper stem. Leaves smell like wintergreen when crushed with fingers.
August 9, 2009 Southeastern, New Hampshire Wintergreen pictures taken with my new iPhone 3GS camera. White flowers are visible hanging down on some of the Wintergreen plants. No ripe berries yet. Leaves have lost part of their wintergreen smell and taste. Wintergreen flavor must be going towards making the berries.
