  3. Canadian Moonseed (Menispermum canadense) is a woody vine that often intertwines with other species such as Riverbank Grape or Greenbrier and can at first glance look quite similar. Unlike those two other vines, which bear edible fruit, Moonseed plants and berries are toxic and have been used for medicinal purposes by indigenous people.

  4. Fall means Carolina Horsenettle berries poking out of the dead grass... They will endure throughout most of the winter and be picked by birds such as turkeys or quail, who also spread the seeds. Carolina Horsenettles are closely related to tomatoes, but the plants and berries are toxic to humans and most mammals.

    Hier: Milchsterne enthalten giftige Cardenolide, die stark auf das Herz wirken. Diese Giftstoffe sollen die Pflanze gegen das gefressen werden schützen und werden erst bei Zerstörung der Zelle freigesetzt. Man nennt sie daher auch Gärtnertod. #biodiversity #toxicplants #Giftpflanze
