Canada Buffaloberry - a photo on Flickriver

            This shrub was growing near the river in Bragg Creek, west of Calgary, which gave the image its mottled blue background.  The female Canada Buffaloberry flower produces a small, red or yellow fruit.  "Humans are not the only animals that eat Canada Buffaloberry. The fruit is enjoyed by many bird and mammal species, and is a special favourite of black bears."  From talkaboutwildlife.ca.

"Canada Buffaloberry is sometimes called Soapberry because the yellowish-red berries foam up when beaten with water. First Nations people used the berries to flavour meat and ice cream, but the wood was rarely used as fuel since it becomes stinkwood when heated."  From royalsaskmuseum.ca.
