creep-o-rama!

Actaea pachypoda in the devil garden, aka dolls eyes, aka white baneberry. Beautiful poisonous white berries with a black "pupil" on blood-red optic stalks. Very creepy to imagine the empty sockets these eyes left behind.

  1. Love them! You've reminded me to see if the starts a friend gave me of this plant are still hanging on. I planted them in what I thought was a good spot, then they were quickly covered by more established growers. Not a good thing.

    1. I sure hope you can find them under there, creeping along...
