Beautyberry
/I always stop at the Texas Welcome Center on US 75 just after crossing the Red River from Oklahoma to Texas. There is always something to see in the extensive plantings in front of the building. I enjoy a quick round of macro photography.
The Beautyberry was the highpoint of my stop in July. The plants are in all stages of blooming and then berry formation. It seems like there are more plants than last year….these are hardy native bushes!
Soon the berries will start to turn purple. Here is a picture from last September. I will check the plants again when I pass through in August…maybe find a few berries turning purple.
