White Bryony (Bryonia dioica)

As the greenery gradually starts to die back the colourful berries of the White Bryony come into their own, stretching like hanging garlands of Christmas decorations across the hedgerows. It's actually closely related to the cucumber, but highly poisonous!

Looks like it should be edible. Nice shot.

Didn't know they are related to the cucumber. Nice picture.

Nice shot, I have never heard or seen this plant but it looks to be a nice decorative plant.

In spite of being poisonous they look like sweets. I love how your pictures capture the colours of the seasons

Neat looking plant! Love the Reds & greens.

I just knew you were going to say that they're poisionous evenbefore I clicked.If they look pretty don't touch. Lovely shades of red and orange here contrasting with the fresh greens.
