Flower Friday: Juniper Berries

Flower Friday: Juniper Berries

A juniper berry is the female seed cone produced by the various species of junipers. It is not a true berry but a cone with merged scales giving it a berry-like appearance.

(With the changing seasons flowers are not in abundance anymore, but their fruits are. Perhaps I should have fruit or foliage Fridays, in keeping with the alliteration.)

    Fruit is a mature flower. Juniper berries attract birds and are pretty to look at as well. Nice macro shot.
