Not-Quite-So-Deadly Nightshade

While walking down the wooded paths in our neighborhood, there is one vigorous weed that produces quite unusual flowers. I've only found it in that one location, so often I only get a few photographs each year. Friends had called it nightshade, so I mistakenly thought it might be a poisonous plant. Fortunately this is Bittersweet Nightshade. The flowers aren't poisonous, yet the berries are. There's the good news and the bad news. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dulcamara
