One of the banes of my shady garden is porcelain berry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipendunculata). Also known as false grape, it has a very similar appearance to wild grape, but it is a vigorous, invasive species that spreads rapidly if not removed. Removed this and other young plants today.

Up at northern tip of Manhattan in #Inwood today cutting invasive vines as a newly minted Super Steward.
And I checked with iNaturalist to be sure what I was cutting was #PorcelainBerry and not native grape.

Here is my day 11 #inktober drawing- disgusting. The blue isn't purple enough, but this is a drawing of porcelain berry. It is an invasive species here in NYC, and although it's not really toxic it is really disgusting. The juice has the look and feel of puss, and is quite bland tasting.

looks like one of Strawchans dear friends came back home from her holiday fun! Meet Porsha, also known as #porcelainberry ! Shes based off the Kudzu, which is also nicknamed it's other name due to the porcelain look it has. Proper reference will be up later! #art #artwork #illustration #mastoart
