A prolific and very common weed over here in the UK, it's often known as woody nightshade.
Nice macro shots by the way :-)

My late Aunt had a big bush of of it growing along a fence, the flowers are very pretty to look at and the small red berries look very tempting, but as stated before it is poisonous too bad , as the plant gets covered in red berries.. It does have the bad habit of spreading.
Ha thanks John, just realized I have this growing all over my property. Been feeding the red berries to my chickens for years they love them
There are several edible cultivars of S. dulcamara available but only when the fruits are completely ripe. I currently have seeds for edible S. nigrum that a member in California sent me of a Hawaiian cultivar they call "popolo berries" ....just not to eat the rootsrghm1u20 said:
