| Wondering what this is. It is a low shrub (2 foot high) growing in moist soil in the shade of a large maple tree. Photo is looking down at it. Thanks.  |

Hi! And  I'm thinking it could look like Pokeweed. |

| I'm not sure but as Tara suggested, compare to Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) More photos on this page for comparison: http://ontariowildflowers.com/... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Not possible that Phytolacca americana already bloomed in Canada, or that the stem would be so woody and thin. Reminds me of cherry laurel tree (Prunus caroliniana) but I don't think that's hardy so far north. 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

@purpleinopp  You may be on the right track with Prunus species! How about Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) which apparently blooms in Canada in spring!

Yeah, I think I agree. Hadn't thought about it being already"past bloom" so to speak. Good eyes!  |
