what is this?

[countrygirl]

while picking blackberries i came across this unusual plant.
this appears to be a seed pod. i'm going to also try to post a pic of the foliage.
any ideas?

 

[countrygirl]

you can see the seed pod below my hand; amongst the blackberries, lol

Looks like a Calli-lilly. The green bumpy thing is left after the flower falls off. Nope you can't make wine out of it sorry

and sid, you got me rolling now. if ya'll only knew my hubby, lol. i showed him the pic first (farm boy didn't know either, lol) and he said with such a serious look on his face, "honey, that marijuana". i didn't fall for it with him either, sid, lol

I believe that what you have there is the fruiting head of a Jack-in the-Pulpit. The berries will turn red and then a beautiful orange. And no I don't think that I would make wine out of them.

maybe? it seems to have a large central tubular trunk? very tropical feeling/looking.

Woodbee might be right. The leaves are a little off for Calli lilly.

i've been checking it. no change in color of the seed pod yet. i'll keep ya updated on any changes.

 

[countrygirl]

but not a major one...
there is another plant beside it, just smaller...
the seed pods are still the same color. blackberries are about done, so i hope my little path back to this area stays open, lol

 

[countrygirl]

still absolutely no changes. i've found a couple of others on my blackberry forays. all smaller than the one in the picture. been searching all over to get enough berries...may have to resort to store bought/frozen
when the color changes on this, i will post another pic.

You cpould go the Vintners Harvest wine base route wich is juice and berries canned. It is a great product!

that's one of the things i'm considering. i have about 12-13# of berries.

I have just noticed that my Jack-in the-pulpit has lost its leaves and the berries are just starting to turn red.
