Beauty Berry

 Beauty berry lives up to its name. Such a striking plant would be noticed at any season, but it's especially welcome right now, when flowers have faded and gardens look a little tired. The berries are so shiny that they look like plastic beads. Their satiny orchid-lavender sheen contrasts nicely with the chartreuse leaves. Those leaves will turn yellow any day now. The leaves will fall but the berries will remain, spreading their beauty for a while longer.
