Phytolacca Americana (Pokeweed) 洋種山牛蒡（ヨウシュヤマゴボウ）

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

This is phytolacca americana, also known as American pokeweed. I've been observing this plant for the last month, enjoying the tiny white flowers and the green, purple and black berries as well as the bright pink stems. I love this plant because it's so colorful!! 

When writing about the cute white flowers last month, however, I learned that all parts of the plant, i.e., the rootstocks, leaves, stems, and ripe fruit, are toxic, which made me very nervous this time, not to touch any part of this...😆

洋種山牛蒡（ヨウシュヤマゴボウ）です。8月下旬、ちっちゃい白い花に一目で恋に落ちてしまったのですが、根も葉も茎も実も全て有毒だということを知り、今回はどこにも触れないようびくびくでした😆
