Snowberry: the 135th Flower of Spring & Summer! (4 more pix below!)


A few of these bushes grow down by our front gate, and are favorites of bees and other insects. The blossoms are only about 1/4" in diameter, but as you can see, they're beautiful little pink bells when seen up close! :) After flowering, they make pretty white berries which are gobbled up by the wildlife but are poisonous to humans. (A picture of a snowberry is below!)
Snowberry plants are part of a group of about 15 species that are found in Northern and Central America and are a common shrub. Their family name is "Symphoricarpos", which means "bear together fruit", referring to the tightly-packed clusters of berries. Some species of this plant are also used for landcaping.
