Juniperus horizontalis

Yes! a few days ago, the male flowers released their pollen and yesterday i finally found, on a different plant (dioecious) a few female flowers with a last year berry ( which is not a true berry) and a two year old  ripe, blue, berry on the same branch.

I put a sprig in a vase on wednesday, and picked on April 19 like this

Empetrum nigrum subsp. hermaphroditum

update May 21 2017: The E.nigrum is now past blooming in the wild, it flowered the first week of May. Yesterday  i noticed how the plant has now light green/whitish buds, looking like flower buds, but they are the leave buds.
