I’ve never heard of baneberry. Thanks for posting that — I learned something!
Red baneberry is a fun shade plant – the foliage is attractive and the berries are a knockout. There’s a white Actaea, also known as “Doll’s Eyes”, but I find a cluster of little eyeballs to be just a little too creepy to plant.
You have a lot of nice natives in your garden. I enjoyed your pictures! ~~Rhonda
Lovely! We had so many of the same blooms.
That cucumber is de-vine
