Found a bush with beautiful lavender berries, which is apparently a #BeautyBerry. Unfortunately, I can't tell which type it is, which is sad because the American Beautyberries can be made into jam, while the Chinese ones cannot.

Just finished this sweater inspired by some of the colors I see in nature.

Merry Christmas to you all! Spend some time in nature if you can.

Beautyberry shrub is full of new food for birds. I planted this plant in 2017. Since then, it’s been the local birds’ favorite plant during summer. I have no clue why some of the branches have died. This only means when the season is over, I will trim all the branches. It will come back. It always comes back. A Florida native plant - #BeautyBerry

It's late in the season in my garden, but there is still something to celebrate - something new worked!
It all started when someone from Mastodon recommended to me to put out some Anise Hyssop for late season #pollinators. I ordered a few and put them out. Later, I found a #Beautyberry shrub growing in the wrong place. I moved it next to the Hyssop thinking the colors might be complementary. Got a pic just in time.

Who recommended the Hyssop? I forgot!

Open to see both together.

Unexpected guests: just found some beauty berries growing in the backyard!

I don't know much about them - trying to determine if they're ripe - but hoping to keep enough around to have a good little jelly patch return every year 🤪

I always pass by these beautyberry bushes on my daily walks, and I can't help but admire them. They're so pretty. 💜
