Description


August 2010 Finalist
Woody Nightshade is the most common of the Nightshade family.
It scrambles through hedges and shrubs, entwining the branches.
The flowers are clusters of purple flowers, each with five petals and a golden cone (anthers) in the centre of each.
The flowers are about 15 mm across.
The flowers are followed by glossy, oval berries which start green, turning to yellow and red when ripe.
The berries are very poisonous.
This plant is also a source of a drug used for skin diseases and chest problems

This grows on a vine on our barn, thanks to those who identified this plant

Have a SUPER DAY!!!

A beauty anyway. #8807205

Great detail, color and just fabulous dof, Peaches. It does look very much like nightshade...which is highly poisonous. Ever hear of belladonna? Same plant! Used to kill off "enemies" thruout the centuries...Great shot, nonetheless! #8808290
