Prosartes smithii (Disporum smithii)
orange berries
temperate rain forest
You can see the flowers in spring at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/602...
@ Behn, after you mentioned the color variation I happened to spot a P. smithii plant with bright RED berries, first one I've ever seen. Thanks for keeping my eyes open.
Smithii. Hookerii flowers are more bell-shaped. Good ID.
I posted a photo of their flowers earlier this year, spotting 6022410. See what you think.
both being orange or red or somewhere in between.
They are both variable in their color.
I believe the hookers has red berries.
Prosartes spp, probably either Prosartes smithii or hookerii, hard to tell without the flowers.
lovely berries!
