Whew! I just climbed out of the berry rabbit hole and found an easy I.D. method: tap the lid of the rabbit hole! My iPhone pinpointed the plant as either “mock orange” or “peppermint.”

🤔🤣 Quite silly. Wiki suggested “hackberry.” Close but no cigar.

🤦🏽 Silly me... Of course this is a “bittersweet vine.” The blurb cautioned that the berries, albeit beautiful, are poisonous to humans! Abstractly this post reminded me of stringing popcorn with cranberries as a kid to decorate our Christmas tree. These berries, with seed, may not be a good candidate. 🤷🏽

I so liked your comment on the kid. That kind of tender thought should remain forever in our brains. Was his “boo boo” in response to seeing the red berry inside? Suggesting blood...

The rabbit hole in red truly suggests what lies inside the shell. Almost resembling citrus segments? 😊

Love the LoveLetter today!
