Er, scarlet IS red! It may be a particular red, but it is assuredly
a red. So Kay Easton's statement was perfectly correct, and I am
afraid your musket of pedantry has just discharged itself into your
foot.

To paraphrase the late great Henry Ford, "You can have any colour you
like as long as it is black" ..... and any colour will look black in a
woody area in the shade of night. Musket of pedantry my foot! :-))

I've found a plant that is very small and has flowers that are basically
miniature potatoe flowers, white on outside and orange/yellow in middle

It porduces berries that look like miniature tomatoes (about the size of
rowan berries) but turn dark purple/black

The leaveas are not unlike potatoes/tomatoes but the plant grows not more
than about 6inches hight


Well it's sure not a Bonzai fig...so it's probably a potato ! Because we
usually dig them up before they have seeded..what you have is a probably a
potato fruit!

... except that potato fruits are marble sized not rowan berry sized.
