snow white berries

can anyone identify these lovely white berries. They were soft and about the size of blueberries. They were on a low bush growing over a churchyard wall.

I have seen these before somewhere but have no idea of the name of them Chris.

Albus snowberry bush Chris, I cheated & looked it up! Has another long name beginning with S in front of Albus but I couldn't remember the spelling!

Neat shot...I don't know the name but I, too, have seen them around.

[Pyrrhula]

The Dutch name is ``Snow berrie . The Latin name : Symphoricarpos albus

@happypat @seattlite @pyrrhula thankyou Pat, Gloria and Pyrrhula. Now I know. Very pretty berries and interesting to read about them on the internet. I am enjoying seeing different plants over her in the UK

They look amazing, never seen berries this white before!

@cjphoto they were stunning Chris. Dont know if they grow over your way but I have never seen them in Australia

[KWind]

I thought they are leeches, how silly of me.

wow never seen this before but I like the look of the white berries!

[Dione Giorgio]

Something completely new to me. I knew Pyrrhula would tell the name - he is the expert.

@sangwann Thanks for you confidention. This was easy as it`s a very much used bush in our public gardens.

@pyrrhula @sangwann @kwind @koalagardens
isnt it wonderful how we all learn so much on this site

[Gayle]

Lovely shot! Snowberries are new to me so I looked them up online . . . some interesting facts - when the white berries are broken open, the fruit inside looks like fine, sparkling granular snow...the flesh is spongy and contains two 2-5 mm long, whitish stone seeds.
As you commented, it's so wonderful how we all learn so much on this site. :-)

@gaylewood thanks for the extra info Gayle. Wish I'd opened one now. Sounds very pretty

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very pretty- they remind me of Bayberries although those are a bluish gray so I know it's not these. Snowberries sound so interesting- I'd love to see that snowy inside that Gayle wrote about.

They look like white Lily Pily - but I'm sure they are not! Nice photo.

@robz yes a similar shape.
