[Leica] IMG: Pokeweed

[Jim Nichols]

If one reads the stories  of the American pioneers heading west, one 
will find frequent mentions of Pokeweed.  The berries are poisonous, but 
the leaves were eaten for their vitamin content.

In my yard it is a nuisance, cropping up in many border areas. But, if 
caught in the sunlight, it sort of glows.  As the berries ripen, they 
turn a purplish black, and are quickly snatched by the birds.
