Berries, Ohauiti Reserve

Photographed on a walk in the reserve this afternoon. Unfortunately I seem to be finding weeds rather than wildflowers on my expeditions, but that may be due to the season.

For this month's No Mow May challenge.

Hoping to catch up with commenting soon.

@marlboromaam Thanks for the ID, I hadn't heard of pokeweed. It reminded me of inkweed and I see they are very similar.
@sewfree I'm glad, it's interesting to look back but a bit of extra work putting the links in. Your comment made me notice a typo with one of them, now corrected! Unfortunately other than 2025 all the other years have big gaps.
@narayani @joansmor @happypat @haskar @onewing @ziggy77 Thanks for your comments!

These are Pokeberries and they are poisonous.

@skipt07 Ouch. I know (see previous comments). No Mow May in this part of the world was an extra challenge as its autumn not spring. I did my best to find interest and beauty, even in poisonous weeds, haha! Maybe not the best choice for BOTM but I will let it stand.
