What is the name of that plant that looks like a blueberry but it only has one or 2 berries at the top of a stem. it grows near blueberries. I was told long ago it was a dog berry but researching, it is not a dog berry. Any ideas?

Sounds like serviceberry though they could be huckeberries. Serviceberries to me taste like crap. I always found them among blueberries.

Will this help?

Bluebead-Lily Clintonia borealis

The three to five leaves of the bluebead-lily look like long, pointed, shiny green tongues sprouting from the forest floor. In late spring a 6- to 10-inch-tall leafless stalk holds small yellow, lilylike flowers. Dark blue berries replace the flowers by midsummer. These beadlike berries are poisonous. Look for bluebead-lilies in damp forests.

Yup that's them! Thanks!

Ah those..look like lily leaves. Have never thought of savoring those blue beauties..thank goodness.

No I never wanted to eat them, but with 3 kids looking for blueberries I have to constantly tell them ... Not those! They are poisonous! But I have been calling them the wrong name up till now.

we have service berries here in my garden, and they are a propagated variety that really tastes like blue berries

I always thought the blue bead lily (the actual flower) very pretty & wispy. I have a lot growing alongside my driveway.
