Winterberry

Found American Winterberry [Ilex verticillata] growing in the swamp on the Southeast border of our property. It is a very vivid and showy bush with very bright red-orange berries.

For some excellent photos of the winterberry flower see: http://www.ontariowildflower.com/lakeedge.htm
It is a very long page with many photos so to find the photo you'll have to do a search for the name.
