It's not actually a cranberry but looks like it and is similar in flavor. It's native to North America but there is a closely related European plant, Viburnum opulus. <br /> That's a funny story about the orange umbrella!Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00591131876354165885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331391570829308599.post-79358136280664910452011-11-30T10:25:45.192-06:002011-11-30T10:25:45.192-06:00Love your red socks.

I once had an orange umbrella with me at an open air rock concert. It was shortly after a world championship and Holland had lost in the finals. The singer of the band pointed out that he was really fed up with orange and that anyone still wearing it should be banned. The whole crowd turned and looked at me standing there in the middle trying to hide under my orange umbrella. It was very funny.<br />The whole range of reds has always been my favourite too. Lovely acer in the picture and what's the red berry bush? never seen anything like it.Eveliennoreply@blogger.com
