On my most recent post, do you think the gymnosperm in the final picture is a juniper? That's the only one I know of whose cones are adapted into a berry like structure. BUT, not being up on all my gymnosperms, and just googling for junipers, I am still not sure. The "berries" were not yet the purple color, but I thought perhaps there were still immature?

ReplyDeleteThanks.
