I am not sure what kind of plant this is but I took this photo in Maine a couple of weeks ago before any leaves had started to sprout.

Jelly Bean Bush, Lensbaby

With Easter fast approaching the Jelly Bean harvest is in full swing! Here is a red Jelly Bean plant that has been harvested already by the Jelly Bean farmers. Near by there were green, orange, and even black jelly bean plants all waiting to be harvested for Easter Candy!

Haha just joking obviously :) I dont know what this plant is but the berries do look like jelly beans to me!

Pineapple, Persian Cat, Stare Off

My Persian cat was infatuated with this pineapple and kept rubbing up against it and smelling it. Here he is challenging it to a staring contest :)

I have been a bit under the weather the past few days that is why I have not been posting. Hopefully I will be back to 100% soon and will be able to post more often!

Pineapple, Apple, Orange, Fruit Bowl, Still Life

I have no idea what kind of berries these are but they are in my backyard and I love the brilliant pink color that the plant they are on has. I have seen birds land on this bush and eat the berries so they must be edible of least for birds. Anyone know what they are?

UPDATE (10-10-08): I just want to post a quick update. Thanks to a reply below I have found out what these berries are called. They are called Pokeberries also known as Inkberries. They are indeed toxic to humans but birds are immune to the effect (that would explain why I have seen many birds eating them.) According to Wikipedia a cool fact about these berries is that the United States Declaration of Independence was written using Pokeberry juice (hence the name Inkberry)! Thanks to Jeannie for the information!

Wild Berries

Raspberry, Berry, Macro

I know its not the prettiest Black Raspberry plant but the berries still tasted good! :)
