These are NightLock berries |
Foxface,a female District 5 tribute, died after accidentally consuming them during the Games when she stole them from Peeta. She believed they were edible. Peeta himself had mistaken them for edible berries, possibly the blueberry-like berry, that Rue had shown Katniss when they had formed an alliance. Katniss stopped him from eating any, remembering her father's warning, "Not these, Katniss. Never these. They're nightlock. You'll be dead before they reach your stomach." She and Peeta kept some in a bag in case they could trick Cato into eating them. On the last morning of the Games, when Cato was dead, the rule allowing two victors was revoked. Katniss, instead of battling against Peeta, in response, pulled out the nightlock berries, giving some to Peeta and keeping a small handful to herself. They then held them out to clarify their intentions and on the count of three, placed the berries closer to their mouths. Before they could swallow them, Claudius Templesmith took back the change, and are then both announced as the winners of the 74th annual Hunger Games. This scene was not included in the 3-hour long recap after the Games as it was a sign of "rebellion". Seneca Crane is locked in a room with a table in the center of the room with a bowl filled with nightlock berries.
I love beauty. But I like the beauty accidentally, not dished up, served up on a platter. See the link below for more info.
