Lingonberry and bilberry
Lingonberry and bilberry are flowering plants with sturdy, wooden stems. This means that they are sprigs. Bilberry is a well-known forest plant. It is often called blueberry, although the real blueberry is a different plant. If the weather is good during the early summer, you can find large quantities of bilberries growing in the forest during the late summer.
The leaves of the bilberry are thin, and they fall during late autumn.
Lingonberry is a sprig that can often be found in pine forests. The red lingonberries are not as sweet as blueberries, but they can be used to make jam and juice.
Lingonberry resists drought better than bilberry. This is a result of its wax-covered leaves. The leaves of the lingonberry do not fall during the winter.
The leaves of the lingonberry are small, hard and covered with wax. In the picture, the berries are not yet ripe.
