Night Shade Mosaic, With a Touch of Yellow
These pictures were from last summer, and I found these flowers growing along my fence. They were wild but beautiful because the purple color has a grip on me. I don't know why, but when I see anything purple, my eyes are drawn to it.
I am terrible at identifying flowers, and my friend Anne, at The RelationshipSuperMarket.com has sent me a little pocket book all the way from the UK on Wild Flowers to help me along, but I am still way behind in gaining knowledge.
You might have seen these night shade flowers on my other blogs, but believe me, my fascination with these flowers ended up with around a hundred pictures already. Every year these flowers are bit different from the previous year.
You can see how the buds were forming on this one branch, and also how the flowers opened up to show their yellow seeds. It was amazing to see and watched them throughout the summer months.
When all the yellow middle seeds and petals fell off, they revealed these berries, and many readers had warned me that these are poisonous. From these green berries, they turned yellow, orange, and finally red.
Look at how gorgeous they were! My point and shoot camera did an amazing job at capturing these photos. These flowers looked like dancers.

Very pretty, Icy. I pulled mine up by the root because they were very close to the sidewalk in my front yard. I ready the berries could be harmful to children.
That is a beautiful flower! So intriguing!

Very very beautiful! I think this is the first time I have seen the nightshade! They do look as if they are dancing ~ especially in the last photo!
Very beautiful flowers Icy, I love the purple color and the shape of the blooms.
I love purple flowers too. Blue and purple are my most favourite.
Thanks for the plug too.:-)
They are very beautiful! We used to pull them out by the roots when we found them in our pastures, because we didn't want the horses to eat them... They ARE beautiful, though! Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
How wonderful. I have to make a conscious effort to buy outside the purple for my gardens. I LOVE all things purple.
Thanks for the introduction to a new flower - love the combination of yellow and purple!
This are pretty flowers. Happy MYM!
Those flowers are gorgeous. No wonder you took so many photos of them.
Came over from Friday Follow. (Better late than never, right?)
I can see why you were drawn to these flowers. They are really pretty.
Dream, dream, dream. I think they look like a good icon for Dances of Dreams. Fancy and bouncy.
Beautiful flowers. Wonderful pictures of them.
Oh, I love them! The color combination is stunning and reading about the progression of color makes me want them all the more. My fingers are crossed that these grow in Zone 5.
Oh wow. These photos and the collage are GORGEOUS!!! You're photography skills are really growing and improving. I am seriously impressed!! :)
They are so pretty and they do resemble dancers. I like the way the berries look too.
Nice mixture of colors, purple and yellow. Beautiful.
