Salmonberries are brambles closely related to raspberries. Erika and I photographed this one in the Bill Frank Jr National Wildlife Refuge on 29 March 2021. This plant is native to the west coast of North America, from Alaska to California, and inland to Idaho. Escaping cultivation, Salmonberries also grow in parts of Europe. Raw and processed fruit is edible. Native people ate the fruit with salmon and other fish (Wikipedia).
