I don’t know what kind of berries these are – only what kind they are not (a.k.a. cranberries, holly). Perhaps one of you know? At any rate, they are a lovely and lasting reflection of the holiday season.

They look really pretty but I hope they are artificial…I just have this image in my head of some poor dog getting caught up in a moving cart wheel while trying to eat them…..

I think they were real, but the good news is that cart wheel isn’t going anywhere. The cart hasn’t moved in decades.

I am not even being sarcastic – they’re winter berries. Now, as to the type, I’m not sure. Perhaps something in the holly family that’s not direct holly or a privet of some sort. Or it could be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilex_verticillata
Also, you could try to get someone from UNC or CSU or the Botanic Gardens to look at your page. 🙂
