Red Currant blooms are one of the first signs of spring that I look for....spring is here! You can see
currents blooming all along the roadways and through the bush, now we wait for summer. Red Currant
facts: This is the wild counterpart of the cultivated Garden Currant. It is found in the shadowy depths
of the mountain forests, the pendent tassels of tiny greenish or purplish flowers are seldom noticed,
and the small red fruit is not at all palatable, being extremely acid and possessing a woody flavour.
