OMG!!! I never thought of doing a closeup of the sumac. Outstanding---I had no idea they could be so beautiful.

The seed pos of the rose of sharon I had never heard of either. On a forum I belong too some one was wondering why anyone would want a RS because of them. In my book it says some singles develope them and they cause suckers to grow everywhere so I mentioned it only because i wanted everyone to know I didn't have that kind. Does that make sense? MB

Small City Scenes said...

That should be seed pods.....duh! MB

Oh! Wow! I wouldn't have thought these were berries! I imagine they aren't edible of infusable (does that word exist?)! It's a gorgeous plant, the colours are so vivid!

I've never heard of them either, but you've captured such great detail with this shot!

That is a gorgeous macro!

It seems to me that sumac is non-edible, right?

Super colors!

Jacob,

You can soak the berries, strain out the fuzz, add a tiny bit of sugar...and it tastes like lemonade.

I've also used the juice with elderberries to make the yummiest jelly.
