Amongst the vibrant blooms, deadly nightshade and black nightshade lurk, reminding us of nature's hidden dangers.

A plant both beautiful and mysterious, it serves as a reminder that even in elegance lies potential peril. Poisonous plants abound in this realm.

And let us not forget about the humble blackcurrant tree, Ribes nigrum, which gifts us with its delicious berries. Intriguingly contradictory is the white-flowered garden nightshade Solanum nigrum; its delicate blossoms belying its ominous name and black berries.
