There are at least two main varieties of Beauty Berry Bushes are the native and the Japanese. If I had known at the time of purchase I would have bought the native variety but now these 20 year old bushes are well established in my garden. I have found no reliable way to condition  the branches so that the berries and the purple fruit will last for more than a few hours. So I remove all the leaves and make arrangements with just the berries. The other purple flowers are a few remaining buddleia blossoms. ( These are of the Japanese variety and are also invasive. )
