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!

Shari Emerson@JeanPhilippe my favorite, bar none 💖
they are a terrific subject for this - it's not easy to see in this image, but I love the slight pink tinge the white petals sometimes get. beautiful image!
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.

Thanks for crediting the artist
Appagal Crochet@JeanPhilippe Right up my alley!
Matt Willemsen@JeanPhilippe Forgot to include the pie!
naomid@JeanPhilippe love it!
Jen@JeanPhilippe I thought this was the final stage of blackberries…? 🤣
@jensmith now I'm hungry! See what you did! 😊
donkey jess@JeanPhilippe this is the content I'm here for 😍
Morgana@JeanPhilippe Delightful!
Erin🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🍻🖖☘️🦖💥🍪@JeanPhilippe what happens to the petals?
Amanda B@JeanPhilippe love this. Thanks for sharing. I’m growing blackberries in my garden. A few are almost ripe. 🥰
Bob Poe@JeanPhilippe I'm looking forward to seeing more
C0ppertop@JeanPhilippe nice, but you missed the final stage. All berry seeds windup the same way.
CAman@JeanPhilippe I love this!
Cea Noyes@JeanPhilippe , I get to watch this happen in real life every day. It makes me happy to watch the progression, from the brambles waking up in the spring, all the way back around to dormancy.
Cary@JeanPhilippe
Is it a composite or were you able to find all stages at once?
I don't recall ever seeing buds/flowers when there was ripe fruit, but I wasn't looking either...

@JeanPhilippe I love this!
Littlefish@JeanPhilippe this is so good. I used to teach science in y3 and this would’ve been a fantastic resource
Tslil@JeanPhilippe but how the flower didn't dry?
Patricia Washburn@JeanPhilippe My late father is looking down on you with approval. He took a weeks vacation every year to pick blackberries in his native Vermont, because his idea of luxury was having blackberries on his rice Krispies every morning. After he died in 2014 I had his ashes scattered in the blackberry brambles.

dpfleming@JeanPhilippe super cool! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these! My wife is an avid gardener, mostly vegetables but she’ll still love these
Heath McKinley@JeanPhilippe this is a great concept!
James McMahonPlease do a Gooseberry! You just made me Google gooseberry but I'm still not much closer to picturing anything other than the ready to eat version 😅
Tess (they/them)@JeanPhilippe that is really cool to reflect on, thank you for sharing!
LiverpoolWiz@JeanPhilippe My blackberry bush, first year this year, got to stage 11 and stopped there. Sorrow. I was so looking forward to the last one. Great photo.

Aryka Snow@JeanPhilippe that's beautiful! What a cool picture!
Nick the Fox@JeanPhilippe is the final stage of the berry a pie or set of delicious jams and jellies?
Drew@JeanPhilippe nice picture 👍
Chu 朱We have an illustrated kids book in Chinese with this kind of thing, but I think I would buy your photography book if you ever made one!
I'd even translate it for you!
Remy J Alan@JeanPhilippe This is way cool! I grew up getting savaged by redbugs while ravaging blackberry patches in the woods next to my home 🥰

E. Hatt-Swank@JeanPhilippe This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Catherine is not complacent@JeanPhilippe oh lovely, I transplanted some wonderful native ones this summer and am looking forward to enjoying whatever the birds leave me.
mrpieceofwork*sticks head into room* "aCkShuLeE, tEknIkLeE... those are 'aggregates of drupelets', not berries..."

lol
MinoruThis. This is the kind of thing we all should write, not "takes" on some ephemeral drama. Thanks for keeping the Fedi weird and interesting, @JeanPhilippe!

@JeanPhilippe Wow, in one (extraordinary) image you've changed my perception - and now this lifecycle appears much more metamorphic, and the caterpillar to butterfly a little less strange.
