FIRST: Yesterday's PAD ID game answer is...
Pueraria lobata (Kudzu)... if you followed Buzz's
lead you got it. ORIGIN: Japan NATURE: Invasive
INTRODUCED: Worlds Fair as an erosion control
groundcover USES: The Chinese use the roots for
a tea to treat stomach disorders and headaches.

A little "transition" to fall piece. One of my
favorite native plants this time of year is Beautyberry.
The purple berry clusters cover the stems from base to tip.

OTHERS:
A little bit closer now...

A little color from another...

and one colorful pest...
