Purple Berries

French mulberry/American beautyberry
(Callicarpa Americana)
These shrubs are all over our 4 acres. In the cultivated areas,
where they get more sun, they grow rampant and I have to keep them
under control with pruning.
Evidently this is something they like
as these specimens just take over and get more aggressive each year.

The Great Pokeweed
phytolacca americana L.
These plants grow wild around the house. I seldom find them out
in the wooded areas, but have to cut them back along driveways, in
flower beds & lawn.
The picture above shows not only the berries, but the insignificant
little white blossoms. Look closely, right middle and upper right
corner.
