Mingimingi

While we were away on the weekend, we kept coming across these small shrubby bushes with lovely little berries. We wondered what they were. @julzmaioro has done her homework and found out their name. They are known as prickly mingimingi or Leptecophylla juniperina and are very pretty.

Thanks @julzmaioro for finding out the name of the mystery shrub!

I'm learning something here - now need to know more after seeing these excellent photos!

@maggiemae it reminded us of manuka, but threw us off the scent with those very obvious berries.
