I'll be posting a series of posts showing the lifecycle of different berries.
Today, I'm starting with the blackberry. I hope you enjoy it!

Børge@JeanPhilippe That's amazing! How do you get all the stages so nicely together? Or are they not actually together, but photographed a different times?
I have to note, for people eating blackberries directly from the bush: There's one more stage, where the berry goes from shiny to more matte. That's when it's at its sweetest. Personally I find that that's when it's best. But people have different tastes, of course :)
John Kew@forteller @JeanPhilippe This is an older photo - my wife, a landscape architect who breeds roses and is tuned into these things recognized it and I think it originated from someone named Sarah Jane Dawson - https://twitter.com/stevesilberman/status/1274900791090835458?lang=en I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe the original person had delayed germination for different phases or used a greenhouse. It’s pretty cool.
@jkew @forteller I found several such photos for different fruits and berries and it has to be either delayed germination or an amazing Photoshop job.
I grow raspberries behind my house and I can confirm that there's no way you can take that picture. Thanks for identifying a potential artist. When the artist is known, I usually add the credits and this one didn't have any when I found the picture!
Erin Kissane@JeanPhilippe @jkew @forteller Her Instagram looks really likely. We have wild Himalayan blackberries here in Oregon that still flower after the first berries ripen, so for them, at least, this would be totally possible in September, just a lot of work.
