I was on Nick Morgan's site which led me here. I have been out of the blogging world for sometime but think I have visited you before. Your photography is stunning and I would love to see your paintings. Lovely to have found you again. <br />Best,<br />Carol DukeCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953574424150564937.post-81446967385761104172016-10-02T17:45:17.705+01:002016-10-02T17:45:17.705+01:00Good-looking berries (just to look on)!

Cedar Waxwiings here are known to consume berries containing agents that would kill humans but they process this food without difficulty. I wonder how many humans in times past consumed the berries, unaware of the peril, and died.David M.

I thought your pokeberry might be what we call the inkberry but, Mr Google tells me they are merely similar, yours has much bigger leaves and flowering/fruiting clusters. I'd never thought they would photograph so well, though. Will look out for some in summer.
