Pokeweed blossoms...

Wild and native to the Carolinas and Georgia. Have you ever had poke salad? It's made with the young leaves before the plant blooms. Recipe in the link below. It's pretty good! The juice - from the dark purple berries the blooms will turn into - was once used to make ink.

I’ve heard of this but not seen a photo... the tiny flowers are pretty and you’ve captured good detail. Have you ever tried cooking/eating this?

@kvphoto Thank you, KV! I've eaten poke salad a few times when I was a teenager. I had a friend whose mother made it in the spring time. I watched her make it in a cast iron skillet. I was told by her that only the young tender leaves in the spring - before it blooms - can be consumed, after that - it's poisonous and should not be eaten. My horse avoided it in the field - would not touch it. I found this... https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/other-main-course/southern-poke-sallet.html

@dutchothotmailcom Not many have heard of it, Esther. I think it's a deep south thing. Thank you!

This is an excellent image! It's often difficult to get that much DOF for tight shots like this.

I photographed this species many years ago and asked my plant expert to ID it. He responded with a song reference (“Gator’s got your granny…”). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCSsVvlj6YA
