Blueberries are flowering plants of the genus Vaccinium (a genus which also includes cranberries and bilberries) with dark-purple berries and is a perennial. Species in the section Cyanococcus are the most common fruits sold as "blueberries" and are mainly native to North America.[1] They are usually erect but sometimes prostrate shrubs varying in size from 10 centimetres (3.9 in) to 4 metres (160 in) tall. In commercial blueberry production, smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild") and the larger species, are known as "highbush blueberries". The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1-8 centimetres (0.39-3.1 in) long and 0.5-3.5 centimetres (0.20-1.4 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish.
The Fruit . . .

Wow that's a lot of information surrounding the blueberry. What I love is the flavor they have when and if you can find them fresh. I have found all berries may lose there flavor if:

They are picked to early
The longer they sit on the shelves

Recently I have been enjoying an excellent farmers market here in Las Vegas, NV. They have flavorful berries in all varieties and they taste like I remember when I picked them with my grand-mom and grand-dad in their backyard.
