Sorbus eburnea is a multi-stemmed Rowan that dangles clusters of white fruits or berries on pinkish stems in late summer and autumn. Green foliage turns shades of yellow, orange or purple red before falling. It’s an attractive, slow growing shrub or small tree.

This is beautiful! I see more of that cassis color in this — it’s in the black of the twig, and in the stems and in the star on the berries and in the blurs in the background! I love the way that black branch twists around to spill out the berries. Of course the white is the perfect foil, right down to the bits of water. Or maybe the dark woodsy colors are the perfect foil for the white berries. Whatever. A lovely portrait.
There is a distinct purple hue to the branches. The leaves fall early which put the berries in the spotlight.
Your image of the white berries reminds me of my childhood. We would pick them and shoot them at each other in mock battles. I love the rain or dew drops on the berries. Well done, Susan!
I’m glad to have brought back memories. I never see a daisy without thinking back to making daisy chains.
I’ve never heard of these berries. But, dew is always lovely on berries, unknown or known.
I wouldn’t have known what they were if they had not been labelled. Berries do look wonderful with dew or rain or frost or snow.
Oh how pretty. I love the water droplets. 🙂
It had been raining and the berries were drip drying. 🙂
These are fantastic. I have never heard of them, and with my crazy love of tasting everything that looks edible, I likely would have eaten them if I had seen them. Are they poison or do you know? They surely are beautiful!
Random berry eating does sound rash! Sorbus is in the same family as roses, apples and pears (Rosaceae), which seems promising, but please consult someone with better knowledge than me before risking a nibble.
A lovely shot Susan.
Thanks Jude. I was delighted to see you’d been featured on Discover when I was browsing yesterday. I don’t check it out as often as I should or I’d have congratulated you earlier. Very much deserved and well done!
Aw, thanks Susan. I don’t check it out very often either! In fact it was a regular blogger who let me know!
Super shot love the water droplets ..
They were dripping from me too at the time. Luckily it was just a shower and it did make the pictures more interesting.
