Beautyberries are not only beautiful, they provide lots of winter food for birds.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

I sure knew what that was the minute I saw it! Fabulous photo of beautyberries Jean.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
Thanks everyone for all the acorns and thumbs. @Greene Mary, I don't know if I'll get around to making the jelly, but your jelly recipe gives me one more reason to love these gorgeous berries.

If you don't plan to use all the berries, you might make a post on your local FreeCycle pages and offer to a local jelly maker (then barter to get a jar of jelly!).

@Greene Great tip. Thanks so much for it. I have been known to do some things once, just for the pleasure of knowing I can do it!

Thanks so much Tina. When we inherited my brother's home in FL, I was thrilled to find lots of beautyberry bushes on the property! To me, it was comparable to finding buried treasure!
