Pink winter berries

pink berries wroclaw park 4.jpg

One of the plants that is very common in Poland, but I haven't seen it a single time in Portugal. They used to be grown as shrubs around cities when I was a kid. I remember in winter when the leaves fall the white balls were so visible and looked so artificial. The berries a full of water and would almost explode when hit hard to the ground or stepped on. Kids fun :p

I don't see them as much now. They have been replaced but other bushes... I guess ashio for shrubs also exists. But when I was walking in one the Wroclaw (Poland) parks I saw them again! And in more fancy, pink version.

Uncle Google says it is a Amethyst coral berry. Just as the white one it is a Symphoricarpos and belongs to the honeysuckle family. Looks like candies stuck on the bush. There was still more of the white ones around, just a few pink bushes.

Here is how the white ones look like.
Snowberry name for them fits just right!

Those are very pretty ewkaw, I do not remember ever seeing them here where I am in NY.

I think you deserve some $trdo

Beautiful berries!

You need to stake more BEER (6 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

Very cute and tiny berries! It would be nice if we have berries like these! The birds would be so happy!

I am very much tempted to buy this Nikon D5500. Every photo just breathes of life and beauty. But again I really think it is the one using the camera and not the camera that makes the pictures look good (or bad). Great shots.
