I remember this plant well from my childhood – my grandparents used to gather it in the fall out in the country (now the borderline-rural suburbs of a large Midwest city) not a mile from where I live now. It is beautiful plant – very poisonous – but not seen locally as much these days. Kudzu and honeysuckle (the latter, especially) are much more problematic now in the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky triangle where I live.

Kudzu is now even choking out the bittersweet.
