“Poking around the Pokeweed”

Here is my entry to this months Gardening Gone Wild’s Picture This Photo Contest : http://www.gardeninggonewild.com/?p=19018.

This month’s theme is portraits.

I caught this strange explorer lurking under this pokeweed plant with its ripening berries. Indians used the juice from these very attractive berries for staining feathers, arrow shafts, and garments, but do not eat them (or any part of this plant), as the result would be violent and most uncomfortable.

This months photography theme at GGW http://www.gardeninggonewild.com/?p=18762#more-18762

is “Fill the Frame”, and here is my competition entry taken last year in the Patch:

Yucca recurvifolia crowns a gazing ball that perches precariously on a wizened cedar stump surrounded by fall aster. The golden centers of the aster echo the ball.

Celosia rockets add movement and salvia leucantha strains to get into the scene.
