Common Winterberry
Most beautiful after leaves have fallen, providing winter food for a variety of birds.
All parts can be mildly toxic if eaten but have some medicinal uses.

Being the most toxic North American amanita mushroom, it sure does catch the eye.
There are no known medicinal uses. It is being studied for its interaction with cancer cells.

White meadowsweet (Spiraea alba)
An herb in the rose family. Traditionally used as a medicine to alleviate joint pain, heartburn, upset stomach, and more. The pollen from this plant was used as a flavouring for mead. It is also a great butterfly attractant.

Winter blues? There is no better time to get outside, breathe fresh air, stretch our arms out to capture the sun, and allow its heat and energy to sink into our souls.
