Here you see a humble first for these pages, Rivina humilis, known as pigeonberry and, based on the colors of its small fruits and its pink blossoms, rouge plant. How often do you see magenta and red together? And how often do you get asked a question like that (or like this)?

As was true for the last few pictures, I took this one on November 15th at the Spring Lake Natural Area in San Marcos.
