Poke berries getting ripe but don't eat them

Poke berries are coming into their own plump ripeness but they should be avoided due to parts of the berries being poison. The leaves of the Poke plant are edible after being boiled, the water poured off, and then re-boiled. Here in this picture, I just thought they made a pretty bouquet amidst the little white flowers. - LW Comments | Permalink
