Notes:
First image of purple flowers was taken near a pond. They almost look like thistles, but don’t have the thorns, etc. The berry cluster was beautiful with varying colors of blue, purple and white. The berries appeared to be hard and part of a vine. This one grew on a chain link fence near the “thistle”-like plant. Have looked at images of wild berries, but could not find anything that looked likes these. These may have had flowers before they became berries.

My planted last fall healthy looking 2and 1/2 ft tall watered ageratum plants have not yet bloomed. So anxious for the blue blooms. Thank you.

Yes, I see it’s ironweed now. Didn’t look at it closely enough – reacted to the color. Thanks, stone.

Not ageratum. Compare with vernonia altissima Ironweed. Nice butterfly plant.

Hi, Jim, Looked up porcelain berries. and sure enough, that is what my “mystery” berries are! Thanks for identifying them for me. I knew there were garden ageratums, but was not aware there were “wild” varieties. This specimen did not appear to resemble any of the garden types. vcathryn
