Pokeweed

The Pokeweed is going by. This little triptych from last week details ripening, drying, and harvesting.

And a week later the vines collapsed, I think the recent heavy rains beat down the bushes heavily laden with fruit.


This is an interesting and rewarding time of year for me. I am able to revisit species identified earlier in the year, now capturing fruit, seed, and color change. I have a few more similar posts in the works and surprisingly some newly discovered species.
