    Those are a beautiful purple, are they Beauty Berries? (Note, actually impressed with myself that the name immediately came to mind). Never seen one of those in person, only pictures - and they tend to "touch up" pictures to make them more visually appealing to customers so I was really skeptical.

    Yes ma'am, American Beauty Berry. They are very prevalent down here. Birds and deer love them.

    I looked it up as I have never heard nor seen them before. Jam or jelly making but not ate raw as they can cause stomach upsets.
