Well, only the last two are berries. I should have gotten more. I could not get close to the mistletoe, and I did not want to get any closer to the poison oak.

1. Agave ovatifolia, whale’s tongue agave had a litter of pups as it bloomed. The primary rosette will now slowly die. Two pups are quite big. These are some of the smaller pups.

2. Echeveria elegans, Mexican snowball is beginning to bloom again. Apparently, this is normal. It blooms for late spring and again for autumn. Hummingbirds will be pleased.

3. Viscum album, mistletoe mysteriously disappeared several years ago. Its recovery has been slow. This big specimen seems like it never left. It is the State Flower of Oklahoma.

4. Toxicodendron diversilobum, poison oak does well with autumn foliar color. It is not really related to oak, but it does seem to be poison to the majority who are allergic to it.

5. Cotoneaster pannosus, silverleaf cotoneaster is annoyingly naturalized here. It makes these nice berries, though. Turkeys enjoy them, which unfortunately disperses the seed.

6. Crataegus laevigata, English hawthorn produces similar berries, but on a small tree, rather than large shrubbery. It is thornier than it looks. Autumn foliar color is minimal.
