what's in a name...this plant is nominally the Common Snowberry, yet is widely known as Waxberry...local aboriginal people considered the berries poisonous, and so called it 'corpse berry' or 'snake berry'...right now they are appearing everywhere, here along the banks of the Fraser River

since this is a gallery devoted to plants, rarely added to I admit, once in a while feel I should post something fresh...this is the only recent offering...I will leave loving close-ups of flowers to other, more competent photographers
