My mom gave me a strawberry plant but it has thorns no flowers nor does it have runners. How can i find out what strawberry plant it is?

It sounds like you may have a wild strawberry plant, possibly the species Fragaria vesca, which can have thorns and may not produce runners or flowers immediately, especially if it's young or stressed. To identify the plant, examine its leaves, stems, and overall growth habit, and compare them to images of known strawberry species. You can also consult a local plant expert or extension service for assistance. Additionally, keep the plant healthy with proper care, as it may produce flowers in the right conditions.
