It 00:55 in Marin County, California

After a very long hiatus, I have posted another wonderful plant: Lycium chinese, that goes by the more famous name, Goji berry. Wiki tells me it also goes by Chinese wolfberry, mede berry, barbary matrimony vine, bocksdorn, Duke of Argyll’s tea tree, Murali, red medlar, or matrimony vine. I used to eat it when I was little back in Hong Kong and a few years back starting finding it in health food stores in New York labelled Tibetan goji (fantastically expensive!). Then last year sometime I came across it again in the English countryside, wild for the first time (and fantastically free!). Its my favorite, dried in tea adding a little sweetness, with little something to chew on when you’ve finished your cup.
