Beware the pretty berries…

…unless you’re a bird.

 

I adore these bright translucent berries. Bittersweet nightshade is a slender perennial vine or semi-woody shrub throughout our wetlands area. Mystery writers might adore these berries, too. This isn't as poisonous as belladonna. More than 30 species of birds eat the berries.
