Ahhhh….beautyberry! One of my favorites. We first discovered it growing in the thickets along the creek and over time transplanted several bushes into our landscape closer to the house. Our bushes our currently covered with purple berries that the mockingbirds are particularly possessive of - chasing away any other birds that get close.
Lucky bumblebee.

Oh, those mockingbirds can really assert themselves, can't they?
There is a giant one over my parents' graves, and I love that its blooming coincides with those tender anniversaries.
