Two fun tidbits: The Yellow-rumped Warbler in the east is sometimes called the Myrtle Warbler due to it loving to eat these berries. Also, Myrtle Beach was named after the Wax Myrtle. (Kind of makes sense! LOL.) Wonderful video. I used to love to have visitors on my educational programs roll the berries around with their finger and thumb to let them see (and smell) how they are used in candles.
Thanks for the tips! Love the fun facts! Very cool about the warbler...and Myrtle Beach...well of course right? I think I have said Myrtle Beach so many times it numbed me to the actual meaning of the world!
Love what you did to your camper. The berries on those shrubs are beautiful. Mr. Taylor, have you done a video on the insect eating plants of North America ?
I need to find one of these plants to use the wax for a natural bug repellant. I don't particularly appreciate using Deet; a sprig of this behind my ear would be way better.

I have not but on my list I have going to Dolly Sods West Virginia to film some native insect eating plants in high elevation tundra like bogs!
I love wax myrtle. When I lived in Myrtle Beach, I had lots of it in my yard.
Very cool it was in your yard there!
Wow
Yup! Pretty cool, huh?
Wax myrtles are the reason Myrtle Beach has that name!
Yes! I neglected to say that in video! Thanks for commenting!

Be careful it doesn't irritate your skin!
"the name "Myrtle Beach" comes from the wax myrtle, an abundant local shrub, and was chosen in a name-the-town contest in 1900."
That is so cool! Thanks for pointing that out, I neglected to mention that!
