American Beautyberry - a glorious gift

Here is one of my favorite plants in my yard.  It is currently covered with these lovely clusters of purple berries.  I am embarrassed to say I cannot recall her name (can see her face) but the plant was a gift from a friend at the Lutheran Church in Greenwood.  It has thrived over the last several years (in spite of, or perhaps because of my ignoring it) and is now a real showpiece!  It has never been pruned, watered or fertilized by me!  If you haven't yet noticed it, take a look when you come out to classes at The Yogatorium.  It is just to the left of the parking lot as you face the building.
