Field Notes

Description:

I always see this plant on the side of highways and I know its one of the key ingredients in natural pink lemonade. The branches are fuzzy and the fruit-like clusters are purple. It was about 7 feet high.

Habitat:

In a meadow adjacent to the ocean and a patch of woodlands
