Thank you. I am very confused. This is getting a bit technical for me. Most sites say Lonicera obovatus has blue berries. Found this link which states Lonicera obovatus berries are red. In the link it even states exactly where it was found. Most interesting!
https://biodiversity.bt/observation/show/23330 On the Kew site for *Lonicera angustifolia* var. *myrtillus..it shows the red berry but Lonicera obovatus is not listed as a synonym* https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77112378-1/images Quote from link above....
