We, the volunteers and I, found this little arrangement with the Mondo grass fruit and the seeded in Adonis amurensis. We went over and investigated the large clumps and sure enough, there they were. You have to have mixed feelings about these fruits; the color is beautiful beyond description but if you're bigger than a chipmunk it's hard to appreciate them. I guess they're just one of those wonderful little things that we can go out and find in the winter when we need something beautiful.
One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)
