Porcelain Berry is so delightful: ice-blue, pink, and lilac all in the same fruit cluster. I have never seen these colors in any other kind of fruit.

It’s delightful until it gets in your garden! It’s very invasive and extremely hard to eradicate. Last spring I paid someone to dig up an entire fenced-in so-called garden that had turned into a depressing tangle of porcelain berry, despite many years’ effort trying to keep it in check. You can’t turn your back on that stuff for a minute. Now when I look out the window I frequently sigh audibly and say out loud, “What a relief that’s gone!”
It is pretty, though…

That’s what I thought when I saw it. Do flower-based cats do this? Neat trick!
