Pictures just don't give justice to how striking and contrasting American beautyberry is with its surroundings. It immediately causes your eyes to gravitate towards it. It makes you wonder, "Can I eat this?" The answer is YES actually. 100% safe and edible. Ask the indigenous Americans.

All this annoying and excessive rain wreaking havoc on my health has had at least one good effect: Making my native plant patch grow tremendously! It's really taking off now. #NativePlants #NativeGarden #Mississippi #SouthMS #CoastalPlains
