Remember these photos of the bush I couldn't identify?
Thank you to Bill Rowan who kindly stopped by today to let me know this is a Pyracantha bush.
Here's what I learned from friendly Wikipedia: Pyracanthas
are large shrubs that offer sweetly fragrant
,
flat, white flower clusters in spring and early summer. Also known as
Firethorns, Pyracanthas are laden with small, fiery red, orange or gold berries
from late summer to winter. These dense shrubs retain their deep green leaves
in winter, making them a visual delight throughout the year. For color and
beauty all season long, consider planting Pyracnathas.
Pyracanthas berries are not poisonous as many people think although they are very bitter to taste, they are edible when cooked and are sometimes made into jelly.
