Oh. Thanks for that Brian. To be honest, I have never heard of Bittersweet Nightshade!
I think for most of my life, we always thought of the nightshade as the deadly version.
We see the Bittersweet version all over the place down here and it was only when my wife was out with the West Wales Biodiversity Information Group doing some surveys a few years ago, that we were correctly informed.
Mind you, I wouldn't recommend tasting either of them given their names!
 
It's late winter in southern Australia, so I've been out scouting wildflowers with my compact Fujifilm X30. I'll switch to micro four thirds macro when things get serious!
