Nightshade Berries

Berries of Solanum dulcamara (Bittersweet Nightshade)

Berries of Solanum dulcamara (Bittersweet Nightshade)

Now that I’ve finished posting pictures from our two back to back vacations at the beach and England, I’ll be returning to the more mundane pictures taken in our back yard, etc. As you have long since learned, I’m sure, our lives are not particularly exciting. If you’re willing to stop by from time to time, I’m happy to have you.

The picture today is of the berries of the bittersweet nightshade, Solanum dulcamara. If they look like little tomatoes, well they are in the same genus and fairly closely related to both tomatoes and potatoes.
