I get very nostalgic whenever I see  Oriental Bittersweet vines with bright orange berries growing along the trails at Fort Hill. When I was little, my mother would take us out and gather the long vines which she would weave into  a gorgeous fall wreath for our door.

Oriental Bittersweet has a twining woody vine with tiny green flowers which grow into clusters of showy bright orange-scarlet berries with yellow leaves.

Have you ever seen an Oriental Bittersweet? The berries are exquisite!
