Pattypan Pokeweed

The regally colored berries of Phytolacca americana look like pattypan squash shapes up close - how exquisite!


Pokeweed berries make a great dye, but the berries' toxins make them unsuitable for human consumption. Birds love them. They stand out amidst their droopy November foliage.

I've never heard of "pattypan" before
