Black Nightshade

[Loess Hills]

Hey, time to check those pastures for Black Nightshade. It comes up quick, blooms, and produces green then black berries which are toxic for horses. Just found a large plant growing next to the barn this morning.

We have that EVERYWHERE on the farm. It is so hard to eradicate! The little purple and yellow flowers are very pretty.

Good reminder. I'm bumping this up so others can see.

thanks Rose. I need to check some plants I saw on the berm today. They are suspicious and that is a good picture to go by.
