Once again, how to get rid of photos mistakenly posted remains a mystery to me. Viburnum dentatum, the Arrowood Viburnum, is one of the commonest native shrubs in these woods. But this may be the unusual cultivated form called 'Blue Muffin'. That cultivar has true medium blue berries. The native is also called Wild Raisin, and the berries are blackish. Edibility? I have no idea. The shrub grows in the bank of them edging the lawn in the back. Also in that line of shrubs wrapping around the lawn area is Itea virginica, variety 'Henry's Garnet'. If this native has a common name, I don't know it. Thought it nice in bloom and, supposedly, it colors nicely in Fall. Not here. And then I heard some kid repulsed by the flowers, in that they looked, to him like worms. Can't win em all. This vine hides the area where we store the trash and recycle cans and other messy stuff. No thought from the namer as to practicality, spelling or pronouncing the name they gave...
