It may be Solanum dulcamara , climbing nightshade.

It does look like Solanum dulcamara, but I've never seen that kind of variegation on it. It's kind of pretty.

I'm not sure that it's variegation. My daughter said it's under a pine tree which is pollinating. It could be flecks from that. Is this poisonous? she has a 2 yr old. The just moved into this house and she's cleaning out the gardens.

The white stuff is pollen after a light rain has clumped it. It will wash off.

Yes, it's poisonous.

If I recall correctly, it has an odd odor when you bruise a leaf.

See link mentioning " all parts of the plant when bruised emit a disagreeable odor"

Aren't all nightshades poisonous?

"Deadly nightshade" is Atropa belladonna. The most common common name for this species in the US is bittersweet nightshade.

Contact with molested foliage gives those who are sensitive (like me) a mild rash. Invasive in the US. Few people would cultivate this on purpose, even though the blooms are pretty. And many of those who like it a first year then end up cussing it in later years because of its' aggressive spread.

Agree, it's odor is unpleasant.

It also has pretty red berries which a two year old might find attractive. I'd get rid of it under the circumstances.

dont worry... the birds will be bring many more.. over the years .. lol ...

the berries can look like grape clusters.. which would be an attraction for a young child.. ergo.. it has to go ..

Answering erin sos's question: no, not all nightshades are poisonous.

Nightshades is a common name for a very broad family of plants, Solanaceae, which include such well known edibles like tomatoes, peppers and potatoes, to name just a few.

I should probably add that not all parts of the plants listed by me above are edible. Flowers, unripe fruits, stems, leaves, can be highly toxic.

I suppose the same applies to other families of plants, some parts can be edible and beneficial, while others parts of the same plant can be toxic.
