Notes
The plant keys to Black Nightshade and has all the expected features except the flowers are distinct light pink/purplish (somewhat darker than the photograph can capture); on only one plant in this large patch was a single (expected for Solanum nigrum) white flower found, the remainder being pink purplish on the same plant. ID by Frank Lomer.
