    I like the typical Christmas red berries but I like even more the white and bigger type which have the appearance of small snowballs - what are they?

            Good point Dai,

            Just cross referenced that with "Poisonous Plants" by Lucia Woodward.

            So, I'll take it - it's not wise to eat them, not that I would, but I was thinking Miraflores might like to know this if she has any youngsters around. :)
