Nightshade – Solanum dulcamara

One of the delicate wildflowers I photographed on our recent trip to Maine was Nightshade (solanum dulcamara). I found the nightshade growing on the rocky shore across from Acadia National Park’s Seawall Campground on route 102A near Bass Harbor.

It was a very harsh, rocky environment. And there was a plant with delicate purple and yellow flowers. Here are a few of my photos of the nightshade flowers.
