Love the colors—hate the plant by mcsiegle

Love the colors—hate the plant

I don’t know what this plant is called but I want to be rid of it. Several have grown huge and in places they shouldn’t be. I whacked them off a couple of days ago and hauled them back by the garage. I’m going to cut off all the dangling (fruiting?) bunches like this and bag them so there’s no chance of them making more. I know that I’m not rid of them. I just whacked them off; I haven’t dug them out—yet anyway. Probably can’t do that sufficiently. Sigh. I figured I’d get a photo or two, anyway.
Quite an attractive weed

Incredible colours !

Oh that's pretty, even if they're unwelcome in your garden!

Great colours.

They are cool colors, but they are giant weeds and grow where you don't want them. I get them sometimes, and rip 'em out when I find them.

Such fabulous colours does anyone know the name I haven’t seen anything like it here in NZ

What beautiful, colorful little pumpkin like fruits! I’m so glad you took a photo of them first! I am not positive but I think it is pokeweed

It reminds me of pokeweed or pokeberry. I love the contrast of the bright green and purple.

@randystreat @30pics4jackiesdiamond @grammyn Thank you for identifying this noxious plant. From skimming what I see online it seems they are toxic also. @Dawn I think you are lucky if you don’t have it where you live.
@swchappell A very sensible approach! I will try to up my game and do the same.
@wakelys @fr1da @777margo @jamibann The colors are beautiful; I wish I was a gardener like many people I see on 365. I’d rather have the beautiful colors of flowers I planted on purpose. Alas, that is not to be.

I love the colors here. This looks very nice. Call this your photography plant model and you will love it; or maybe not.

Mary, we are get-pushed partners for next week. I have a straight-forward challenge for you. Today is the beginning of Abstract August. My challenge for you is to create an abstract photograph.
