Riekonmarjoja keväällä - Alpine bearberries in spring

Riekonmarja (Arctostaphylos alpinus) talvehtii kokonaisena marjana hangen alla, vaikka kasvi itse on kesävihanta. Uudet lehdet alkavat kasvaa keväällä lakastuneiden lehtien seasta, versojen kärjistä.

Mountain bearberry (Arctostaphylos alpinus) overwinters as a whole berry under the snow, although the plant itself is deciduous. New leaves start to grow in spring, among the withered old leaves, into the tips of the stems.
