It was Thanksgiving, obviously much later in the season than you have photo'd here, and all the foliage had either dropped or was brown and brittle- but these berries were so beautiful- I had never seen anything to equal them. I photo'd them and have been trying to ID them ever since. My berries had tiny speckles on them when viewed closely. I finally came to the conclusion that maybe it was an exotic species that had escaped someone's landscaped property but now you have given me new hope. I will further investigate on my own, now that I at least have a clue! thanks!<br />~gretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
