Photo Sunday: A Strawberry Quiz

Barren Strawberry
(Waldsteinia fragarioides)

There are three species of strawberry growing here. One I bought as a ground cover for a cat's grave. All three produce berries, but one of these three is not edible. Of the edible ones, I once spent a day picking the tiny berries and made a jam with them. It was not as good as I expected, but I can see that in the old days it would have been great. Do you know which of these three does not produce edible berries?

Indian Strawberry (Duchesnea indica)

Woods Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana)
