AMERICAN BEAUTYBERRY

Today I made a visit to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to deliver
my first order of butterfly note cards made from my photos to the Wild Ideas
Gift Shop. I sure hope they sell. I didn't get good photos, it was too windy,
but I liked the way the sun was on this Beautyberry. A close second here:

I like the light on this and I like beautyberry. It seems to do well in damp areas but I have seen it as far north as Tenn.

I've never heard of a beautyberry... it is brilliant looking and I agree with you that the light is exceptional. Good luck with the card sales. I am just sure they will do well.

Petesie over here we know this as Calicarpa Americana. I like your version best. Lovely sun filled shot.

Beautiful color, very unusual berries! I like the way the light falls. Good luck with the cards.

Good luck with the cards - I'm sure you'll find an appreciative audience! The Beautyberry is one thing that I wanted in my garden, but I don't think it's cold-hardy in Zone 5. I hate garden books where you fall in love with something, only to realize you'll have to move to a warmer climate to be able to have it. Those berries are beautiful.

So that is the name of this plant. Very nice shot of these colorful berries.
