Just discovered Deerberry growing in my woods. I wonder how many years went by that this bloomed and I missed it?

The flowers look like dancing ballerinas with long yellow stockings. Interestingly, the leaves usually get larger as they grow closer to the end of the twig.

The slender twigs have a red smooth bark.
