I am so wrong, lol. \u003cbr\u003eIt's Toyon, aka \"California Holly\" or \"Christmas Berry\" and the birds love it. \u003cbr\u003eIn winter, it's got pea-sized bright red berries that stand out, brighter than everything else. You learn to never eat them as a kid when growing up in Northern California. Native Americans knew\/know how to prepare them so that you could, theoretically, eat them. \u003cbr\u003eBut if you eat these scarlet berries off the bush raw, you will be very unhappy. They basically have cyanogenic glycosides that release cyanide when chewed. Luckily it's not easy to eat them, they taste terrible: bitter, mealy, and acidic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn general though, don't eat wild red round berries off the bush, they'll mess you up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarolina Snailseed Twig\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7\" X 10\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal painting made on January 1st, 2026 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInk, watercolor on Arches cold press paper from France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JP Art Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113902719125,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/2064\/7483\/files\/IMG_4998.jpg?v=1773269866","url":"https:\/\/jp-art-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/carolina-snailseed-twig","provider":"JP Art Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
