@ Behn, after you mentioned the color variation I happened to spot a P. smithii plant with bright RED berries, first one I've ever seen. Thanks for keeping my eyes open.
Behn
Smithii. Hookerii flowers are more bell-shaped. Good ID.

I posted a photo of their flowers earlier this year, spotting 6022410. See what you think.

both being orange or red or somewhere in between.

They are both variable in their color.

Prosartes spp, probably either Prosartes smithii or hookerii, hard to tell without the flowers.
