They are beautiful. We have them here in Australia too, I think the common name is beautyberry. We also have Lilly Pilly too and their berries are either red, pinky purple or whitge.

They are such a rich vibrant color

OK, thanks. Had heard the name beautyberry but did not realise it was the same. (Easier to remember than callicarpa which took me a while to memorise!)

[CC Folk]

This is lovely, Hazel!
