Fragaria virginiana - Virginia strawberry (North America)

My native wild strawberry is Fragaria virginiana, or Virginia strawberry, which grows from Florida to Canada and westward into the Prairie States.

The Virginia strawberry, wild strawberry, or common strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) is one of two species of strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern domesticated garden strawberry.

VIRGINIA strawberries grow wild in the Eastern United States; the cooking writer Edna Lewis mentions picking them along streams and fence rows in her Virginia childhood.
