Deadly nightshade?

[ilikepinacoladas]

Hello a family member had visited and told us that the plant in the photo attached is deadly nightshade. We have a toddler and quite a few dotted around the garden. Before we go on a hunt I thought i would the identification with you lovely people

*has visited
*i would check the identifcation

Sorry for not proof reading

sorry I don't know this plant. but I taught my dc 'no picking no licking' from when they were toddlers.

most uk plants however are emetic - they taste horrible and make you vomit.

Honeysuckle i think. Cant googlw for you.

Either that or hypericum.

Hypericum.

Thats a bush not a climber, right? In which case it's definitely not nightshade (or honeysuckle) It's a very common garden bush but I can't remember the name ... But equally not an edible berry :-)

Thankyou very much, it is definitely hypericum. Wiki tells me that the berries are poisonous though so still coming out. Thanks again

Hypericum/St John's Wort.

Definitely Hypericum

Definitely hypericum. Your relative needs to stop handing out bad advice on (mis)identifying toxic plants - if they've told you this is deadly nightshade I dread to think what they might have said is harmless.
