I can't believe the incredible colors of these berries...it's too bad they are an invasive plant.

A close up of Benjamin's photo |
I have referenced porcelain berries a couple of times....so it's time to tell the story.
I was visiting my friend Gail on Martha's Vineyard and we went to a craft show. Something caught my eye across the lawn....I had to get a closer look. The colorful orbs just glowed from a distance and drew me right in. We had a great conversation with Benjamin McCormick, the artist, and since I ended up buying the photo...he told us where on the island he took the picture. Gail and I checked it out...and at that time the berries were just green. I actually considered going back in the fall to see them in their full glory.
Benjamin's photograph lives in my downstairs bathroom in Lexington and compliments my paper tubes quite nicely.
