Please help identify plant w/ small black fruits
Comments (11)Agree with Floral_uk, it looks like one of the black nightshades, probably S. douglasii given your location. There are several very similar species, and they grow wild pretty much everywhere. I take great pains to ensure that they never go to seed in my gardens, and they still crop up from dormant seed or from bird droppings. When I lived in San Diego, the local Hmong community cultivated one of the black nightshades extensively. There is a pretty god write up of the various species & their properties in the link below. Personally, I would just treat it like the weed that it is & dispose of it. Really nice jade plant bush behind it, by the way. Here is a link that might be useful: Black nightshade...See MoreCannot identify plant that is very similar to baby's tears...
Comments (4)a few plants come to mind when you say baby's tears; Soleirolia Soleirolii, Sedum album var chloroticum, and Pilea depressa. Baby toes is another plant alltogether. Good luck :)...See MoreHELP IDENTIFY PLANT! :)

Comments (2)Thank you. I was worried that it is the dreaded chameleon plant that I’ve seen Discussed in other threads. So now I have crazy ivy AND this chameleon plant vying for the same spot. It’s a mess. I saw a few last year but I didn’t know any better and I thought the flowers looked nice. Then this spring I found this forum and started seeing mention of the chameleon. I thought it looked familiar..... ahhh I have too many invasives already...See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
