Trying to identify strawberry plant type.

Hi,



I've been cruising the internet for a source to determine what type of strawberry I have in my garden. Is there an online database that I could peruse or does anyone know what strawberry plant has yellow flowers and this thing has gotten about 2 feet high so far. The flowers appear every 2-4 inches up the stem in bunches of 2-6. I don't remember planting this particular variety but out of 100 plants I have 3 of these freaks. If they taste good I don't mind, but I am curious as to what to expect out of these monsters.



Thanks for any assistance you can point me to.

Thanks John,

After closer inspection (much closer), I determined that there was a small strawberry plant growing at the base of this. You were right on! After I looked up cinquifoil on the web I saw pictures that looked just like the thing in my garden. So much for a new mutant strawberry breed! haha. They are out of the garden and I'll be replanting them near the house since they're nice anyway.

Thanks again for your help.
