Came across these hiking in the Moose River Plains in New York. What are these plants with berries on them?
They appear to be two separate plants, but they all grew in clusters around each other. I took these over the weekend, so I want be able to go back for other photos.
Unsure on blue berries but I think the red ones are bunchberry

Blue is Clinton’s sp. Red is Cornus canadensis?

Red ones are bunchberry, Cornus canadensis. It’s shockingly a creeping dogwood, like the tree. It grows as a ground cover instead. The blue ones look like some kind of orchids based on the leaves.

The blue ones are Clintonia, also known as Bluebead Lily.

Red berries are from the Bunchberry, also known as Creeping Dogwood (Cornus Canadensis)
Blue berries are from the Blue-bead Lily (Clintonia Borealis)
