10/30/2010 - _MG_1485.jpg

Earlier this month we were walking at a local park and came upon this plant which we had never seen.
Eventually we identified it as Pokeweed. It is poisonous, though it was used to make dye by Native
Americans.

Earlier this summer, I found one growing (without berries) in our field near a tree I had
transplanted. We didn't know it was a pokeweed until after we found the other. This is 'ours'.

Nice capture, we have a lot of this weed around me in the woods behind my home. I had no idea it was poisonous. Thanks for the information V

Wow...striking colour. It's fantastic. You should collect the berries, pound the colour out of them, and sell it to the wool mills. I bet they'd love to get a jar of organic, natural colour.
