Service Berry
A big vase of service-berry clippings in the kitchen, courtesy of Daisy. So beautiful, but everyone asks, "What's that smell?"
Additionally, a couple of new things in my etsy shop.

What do they smell like?
Old fish, I guess.
That sounds gross! At least they're pretty. It's like Bradford Pears...they're beautiful for a short while, but stink to high heaven!
I know I have heard of serviceberries before, but I can't think what they are , is there another name for them? Are they like raspberries?
The sight of anything blooming at this time looks so impossibly odd to me. We don't even have green grass.

I grew up calling them juneberries, and they are delicious, fresh or in pies! I like them better than blueberries. Lovely photo!
Kara, I think those must be different. This is a tree that's distantly related to pears, puts out a hard little fruit that only birds can eat, and has foul-smelling but beautiful blossoms.
