Osoberry blooming stems start to extend on bare branches. They look like green feather dusters with a touch of red. Later the blooms will open, looking like little white comets in the understory
An osoberry blooming stem has five-petaled white blossoms beginning to show. The stems wit open flowers will start bending downward, making them look like comet tails in the undergrowth.

Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) is a shrub native to the Southeastern US through Texas. It’s used widely by Seattle gardeners, taken with its vibrant purple berries which stand out in autumn after the leaves fall off. A lot of creatures eat the leaves and berries, and it is used by Native Americans as a medicinal plant.

Several branches of bright magenta clusters of American beautyberry arch over a sidewalk. The berries form tight masses that catch the eye as the dog and I walk by.

Several layers of translucent brown to white mushroom cap fans grown on a moss covered stump. The caps have almost transparent edges and what little white protuberances poking up from the top. They look and feel jelly-like.

The image is of a patch of autumn colored smoke tree leaves. The leaves are full of color layers, the top being mostly purple to fuchsia, then green and red-orange, then orange, then yellow. The overall effect is like a bright silk scarf.
