mystery dwarf shrub from W Turkey
« on: November 12, 2010, 06:19:16 PM »
I'm attaching two pics of what is a mystery to me. Photographed on a graveyard in W Turkey, but it seemed to be a native species.

Thanks, that might be a possibility, although it is not not Osyris alba, the only species I know (from Crete), which has red berries. Yes, the photograph was taken on an old graveyard with many Sternbergia lutea!
