- I sat down with my mom and we looked through my baby book. She talked about me without realizing that I was sitting next to her. Dementia is a curse I would never hope inflicted on anyone. At the end, she remembered and said she tried to be a good mom. I broke down and told her she was the best mom.
- Rubus armeniacus (Wikipedia)
Rubus armeniacus, the Himalayan blackberry or Armenian blackberry, is a species of Rubus in the blackberry group Rubus subgenus Rubus series Discolores (P.J. Müll.) Focke. It is native to Armenia and Northern Iran, and widely naturalised elsewhere. Both its scientific name and origin have been the subject of much confusion, with much of the literature referring to it as either Rubus procerus or Rubus discolor, and often mistakenly citing its origin as western European. Flora of North America, published in 2014, considers the taxonomy unsettled, and tentatively uses the older name Rubus bifrons.
