...and now for the Pink:
The stems of pokeweed are a bright pink in the fall to warn that this is a toxic plant. The berries, which turn a dark purple, are eaten by birds though; and the missing berries reveal a small pink flower shape.

Pink Saturday (Color Series part 2)
Happy Pink Saturday. For those of you who have no idea what a Pink Saturday is... well then, you need to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. (There's over 100 people posting pink on Saturdays.)

ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog. I knew when I saw it you had to be a quilter!
Thanks for visiting my blog about bologna - I read about Lebanon bologna but I couldn't late any nearby to try. There's a German cold cut deli 20 miles away that might carry it - I'll have to remember to check it out next time I get out that way.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteCOLOUR is wonderful!
ENJOY your weekend!

I have always wondered what these were called. Their colors are stunning-isn't it interesting that they are poisonous---so appealing with the bright color.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is sensational. I didn't know that about the pink warning of being toxic.
ReplyDeleteYou're Invited to A Christmas Fair in Blogland on November 21st. Stop by and read all about it.
Happy Pink Saturday,
Karen
Your pictures are so pretty. I've read about pokeweed but never actually seen a picture. Have a wonderful pink weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing pink with the purple too! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to Pink Saturday, Lochlanina. I've missed you.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning. I wasn't familiar with pokeweed. Isn't it interesting that so many pretty things are toxic?!
