How can you not notice this plant? Its red berries grab your attention right away. Its small white flowers are not to be dismissed though they are not of the showy kind. Those simple flowers are followed by red orbs which stay faithful for many months. Its leaves are smooth and leathery and are somewhat edible --- in salads, they say.
No wonder that this Coral Berry Plant or in science-speak, Ardisia crenulata, is one exotic ornamental i would like to add to my small collection of plants. Symbolically they represent simplicity, fruitfulness, sturdiness and toughness. My kind of 2014.
