This plant self-sowed along with a few mile-a-minute plants. I noticed their seedlings emerging from the soil in a pot in my enclosed sunroom and kept caring for them to see what would come of it. Currently, this nightshade is simultaneously flowering and fruiting. The first two fruits to develop so far are still unripe and solid green. I'll update with additional photos of ripened fruits as long as I remember to do so. Let's face it, I often forget to document plants because I'm too busy just staring at them in awe of their beauty. Don't try to pretend like you're so different; you're on inaturalist looking through other people's plant photos for cryin' out loud. Xoxo
Gall with exit hole on huckleberry oak (Quercus vacciniifolia).
This heron was gorging on tiny fish for quite a while.
Must have been chased up the tree the night before. Spent the day resting before disappearing in to the night.
The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this Long Horned Beetle was that it looked like an Ox.
