how beautiful they are…..😃
I haven’t seen this before, thank you for sharing those pictures.
You’re welcome…
How beautiful!!! I’ve never seen or even heard of snowberries before! Are they edible?
Native Americans used the plant as a medicine and soap, and occasionally for food, and the wood was good for arrow shafts. In Russia, the berries are crushed in the hands and rubbed about for a soothing folk-remedy hand lotion. They don’t recommend eating them…
They are definitely beautiful!!! Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome, Jill…
Snowberries are a native plant where I live. There are thickets of them in parks. I have some at my place. They do tend to spread by running roots, so I look at them as a mixed blessing. Your neighbour’s look better than mine.

I didn’t know about the hand lotion use. Maybe will try it?
There used to be a bush growing in the woods near where I grew up. I always thought they were lovely.
It was a surprise to see them next door to me!
How lovely, I’m not sure I’ve seen a snowberry before.
They are unusually scarce…
They are so pretty (and not as cold as snow!)
