ABC Wednesday: B is for brevipedunculata


I have been meaning to give ABC Wednesday a whirl for years and I finally made it in almost on time. I will be starting a week late for Round 7 but I am able to combine A and B with the Ampelopsis brevipedunculata berries below. The common name is porcelain berry.

  27. I was never good in spelling, and I was never selected to the spelling bee.

    I can't even pronounce your two words.
    I just call them berries?

  28. Wow Carver! Those blueberries are great. We have a few bushes and they are great to have in the yard. They are pretty and they are edible!

    Glad you're doing ABC Wed. Plus, you landed the FIRST spot!

  29. Lovely berries, first time see that, are they edible?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I like the color and looks nice to eat, like berries.

  31. How beautiful the berry is which is perfect for "B" thank you :)

  32. They are lovely, but seems they are a vigorous ornamental invader. I suppose they are not poisonous since birds and animals help them to spread but don't seem necessarily to be edible either, but as long as they won't give me a rash I wouldn't mind seeing these along my fence... the berries are really pretty.

  33. the berries look delicious. i'll pass on trying to say those two words really fast though. hope you had a great day.

  34. Great, But can you say:

    "Adolphous Bartholomew Ate Basically A Bushel of Ampelopsis brevipedunculata At Bedtime All By Himself"

    Ten times really fast?

    That's OK, neither can I!

    It's great to see you join us this round. Your picture is wonderful, I can't wait to go research them and learn more about such Beautiful Berries.

    Hope to see you next week
