Colour Challenge: Weird and Unusual Berries

in #colorchallenge7 years ago (edited)

This is pokeweed, or so they tell me.

The Dutch name is "karmozijnbes", "bes" meaning "berry" and "karmozijn" meaning "carmine" or "crimson"; a misnomer if ever I saw one, because the older berries are clearly indigo, specially on Saturdays.

No discussion there.

Period.

These berries are poisonous, so keep them away from children, dogs, and stupid adults; cats, well, you decide.

Thanks for watching!

Cats have been domesticated for half as long as dogs have been.

Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each). A cat can rotate its ears independently 180 degrees, and can turn in the direction of sound 10 times faster than those of the best watchdog.

it's not a poke nor a weed
so there
period!

You can't be right when you disagree with me; you do realise that, don't you? 8-P

Yup. I agree, the older ones are indigo....and the younger berries and branch are crimson for sure. Very pretty to look at - which is why "poison" is that way - to entice you....sneaky stuff. Beautiful photo @ocrdu.

Interesting... I saw something similar once before... Didn't know what it was - first time I ever saw something like this! Thank you for sharing.
