    Blåbär & Odon
    In scandinavia it is called Blåbär which means Blueberry, but in English they are called "Bilberry". In some places like this they grow together with Odon (in English "called Bog Bilberry"
    They grow all over the mountains and the most of the forests, and many times together, for some they are hard to separate untill you eat one!
    The Bilberry is colorful inside while the Bog Bilberry can be a bit white (Seen on pictire 3 & 4)
    in The autumn they become much easier to see the diference as the Bilberry shrub gets red leafs much earlier.
    Bog bilberry is sometimes belived to not be edible but that is more of an old rumor. They can have a bit more sour taste, but are just like Bilberry very healthy and used in many ways in some regions. They sometines reminds me of those strange imported blueberries that can be found in stores nowdays, and also has a weak taste like them.
