Bracted Honeysuckle

Bracted Honeysuckle
Not a very good shot, but this was the first and only time I have ever seen Bracted Honeysuckle and I couldn't find a very photgenic "flower" and fruit, LOL. We came across this shrub when we were walking between the edge of the wooded area and the sandy shore at Barrier Lake, Kananaskis. I thought the colour of the bracts (that look like petals) was such a beautiful deep shade of red. The actual flowers of this plant are yellow and tubular, but there were no flowers to be seen. There should be two of these shiny, purplish black berries, but only one was remaining. These berries are inedible and possibly poisonous.
