| Does anyone know what this might be? I'm in Pittsburgh, PA and this has been growing at the edge of the woods since before we moved into the house 6 years ago. It dies back every year and sprouts 6' tall every time. The little buds turn into berries. The stem is purplish/pink and is rather sizeable, probably good 1-2" thick.

| I can't get your links to work, but your description sounds like pokeweed, Phytolacca americana. |

| I got to your album which had bittersweet nightshade and pokeweed in it so it looks like poke is a winner! FataMorgana |

| Let's try this since posting the message didn't convert the text to a link. It has been a while since I've posted anything on here. |

| Yes indeed, Pokeweed. (when I cut & pasted the initial link, I got a "Photobucket Exception" link & could not see the photos) |

| Thanks! I'd been wondering what that other one with the purple flowers was too. I grew up in west Texas and we didn't have those there so I'm not familiar with them. |
