(Yes, just prettiness...  But no one wants much else, anyway...  I guess.......)

Beauty... But deadly beauty.... -sigh-

Isn't that pretty?  Tiny purple and yellow flowers...

.

I think it is so pretty.  And it seems as if it likes me.  That white you see, is the house siding, under the den windows.  The den, where I have my computer desk.  :-)

.

See?  Doesn't that seem as if it is trying to come to me?  ,-)))))))))

But the thing is......  It is Deadly Nightshade.  Poisonous.

 Lyte urges growers 'to be carefull to see to it and to close it in, that no body enter into the place where it groweth, that wilbe enticed with the beautie of the fruite to eate thereof.' (source)

My husband has pulled and dug it out.  But it returns.  It returns. 

.

Best to take Lyte's advice (whomever he may have been) and go after it, again. 

.

No matter how pretty,  -sigh-  It has no place in polite society.  Or in one's back yard.
