Wayne,
AFAIK wild blueberries are really wild blueberries. Smaller and more
flavorful that the garden variety. Wild blueberries like to grow in
places after fires. I think it is like tomatoes - they've bred them
bigger and blu-er but they lost the flavor in the process.
Juneberries (Saskatoon/Service - sometimes called Shad berries are way
more purple and spicier even than wild blueberries. Then there are
chokecherries and buffalo berries . . .

Hoping you're having a berry nice summer!
