Berry Blast

Flowers are the main focus for most people when plants are concerned. The fruits and seeds can be as attractive at times as flowers. Although fruits and seeds are produces all year, the sheer numbers of berries at the end of summer and early autumn is often most spectacular...

There is a great deal of variation in berries. The red ones catch the eye immediately, especially in clusters like these (Viburnum). Brightly coulered fruit husks open up to show the seed in Euonymus, making for a showy contrast. Some berries however are not brightly coulered, like the Snowberry (Symphoricarpos).
