Re: Speckled berry. Ah, now...they look like some sort of Cadburys chocolate easter eggs. Am I right or am I right!
Re: Speckled berry. Try Ampelopsis brevipedunculata. Sadly, an invasive alien weed in your area: http://www.nps.gov/plants/ALIEN/fact/ambr1.htm http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=AMBR7
by golly you're right! thanks a bunch. 'tis a shame it's considered invasive. the berries are quite colorful and purdy to look at. hmmph.
