My wife took this photo in Austria but nobody could tell her what it was. It looks familiar to me but it's name escapes me. Thanks in advance

Looks like pokeweed, Phytolacca americana.

Amazing. I've only ever seen this growing once, in The Courts NT
garden in Wiltshire. I couldn't remember the name but the berries are
poisonous, I think. Then tonight, Monty saw it growing and said he
didn't know what it was, so well done Sacha!

Thanks for that Kay, I passed the info onto the wife. Then tonight on GW it was shown in the Ambassador's garden, a real co-incidence.

I've grown it for a few years, sold some at plant sales
Interesting but nothing to rave over.

We sell it, Pam, so not really clver of me, though thank you! We're
out of it this year but as we have a few people waiting for next year's
lot, it seems to be one of those plants that's becoming popular as an
ornamental. We were amazed/amused to see it on GW tonight.

That's ok - things do get out of sync.

Yes, there are many servers on usenet and many routes between them.
Messages propogate at different speeds. They're not all F2 hybrids. :-)

It's on the left hand side if you are facing the long border in front of
the wall. It's at the very end Pam.

Thanks Janet but don't expect I'll get there again. Went once on a
coach tip. Nice though!
