Interesting bushes

Thursday, 12. November 2009, 12:30:54

Walking with Savaya today I`ve noticed bushes with a strange white things... not flowers, not berry... or maybe they are seeds??? I don't know what is this but looks so nice.. like little snowballs!

Прогуливаясь с Савушкой, я заметила около дома кустарник вот с такими странными штуками... Вроде не цветы и не ягоды..., а может это семена...? Вообщем, не знаю, что это, но выглядит забавно..., как комочки снега!

Who is that???;)Parking for strollers

Oh, that's really beautiful!

May be a horticulture expert can answer what it is.

Zimak # 12. November 2009, 13:01

я и есть ваш horticulture expert

Olgita # 12. November 2009, 13:01

Tamil, maybe

Too bad I had only phone camera with me... They look really beautiful!

Zimak, лопанцы? В следующий раз я попробую их полопать!

Zimak,

Zimak # 12. November 2009, 13:06

Правда лопаются. Можно на асфальте ногами.

Olgita # 12. November 2009, 13:21

Жалко... Но попробую

Hope you enjoyed your walk

Interesting - the "thing" you found

ellinidata # 12. November 2009, 16:03

interesting and pretty...
usually they say the colored red are poisonous,
I wonder if the white ones are eatable by birds... I know you don't know much about it so never mind me, I am just thinking in writing

They look like marshmallows with a tiny chocolate dot to me.

How cute..

They do look like snowballs. Very pretty.

Nerak # 12. November 2009, 17:55

Ah, beautiful

These are Snowberries (Symphoricarpos rivularis)

My parents have had a bush in their garden since I was a kid

You can read more about the family here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphoricarpos
I love your nature photos as always Olga

Some birds eat these berries, but NEVER eat them yourself

I knew it was berries but never seen that plant before. Nice.

KYren # 13. November 2009, 04:22

Linda I was thinking about you when I said horticulture expert.

Dacotah # 13. November 2009, 04:37

poison sumac berries turn red, then a deep purple, Kiran, when they are ripe. They are tall shrubs. I have two growing along my fence. They have very beautiful fall color---all shades of red.

L2D2 # 13. November 2009, 04:46

Our poison sumac looks different from those pictures. Maybe I will take some pictures tomorrow.

Thank you! Now I know that those "things" are berries

Olgita # 13. November 2009, 11:20

Angeliki, its nice to read your thinking in writing

Olgita # 13. November 2009, 11:20

Pam, what a nice imagination you have!

Olgita # 13. November 2009, 11:24

Linda, but they really look like poison sumac berries

But I guess they grow in trees?
