Behind the bench at my bus stop are bushes that get hacked to the ground every year.  They then grow back with a vengeance to about waist high.  The pale lavender flowers form nondescript clumps of slightly fuzzy blossoms.  However, come autumn those flowers turn into clusters of bright purple berries.  I Googled the words "purple berry bush identification" and found out the bushes are called, appropriately enough, Purple Beautyberry.
