#Celastrus scandens, our native bittersweet, nice and heavy with those exposed arils. Most bittersweet we see ‘round here is the invasive C. orbiculatus… but I’m always gonna pull over when I see these terminal fruit clusters (orbiculatus are in the leaf axils). #iamabotanist #Celastraceae

Good Thursday morning! It's now 6:35 AM & 59°, with another gray overcast sky.
My photo today featuring the color orange are the autumn berries of the woody vine, Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus). It is considered invasive, unlike American Bittersweet.
