Here is an autumn scene from my backyard, and yes, actually a lot of my neighbor's yard too. I have been working to get the ornamental grass in the foreground to grow.
At left is Red Baneberry, actaea rubra. I have been wondering what it was, and I finally found it. It has these showy red berries that look like they might be edible or valuable.
But no, actually the berries make you sick, happily few people die from them because they taste so bad. Supposedly two berries could cause a heart attack in a young child. Other people say the worst effects are stomach-aches.
