You can find the berries I am speaking of in my mystery plant folder and also in my plants folder. They are Blue and grow in clusters. The birds seem to enjoy them very much, cardinal and Blue jays are seen on them often. But what are they? Bay berries, a wild blue berry? Are they edible, or toxic to humans?

Mystery solved it is indeed pokeweed. I had never heard of it prior to today, but one look at the pokeweed page Gardenmom posted and I knew without a doubt it was the answer.

Thank you very much (all)
