I tried the section of gardening but didn't get a answer. Thanks.

Is this a poisonous plant/Ivy (see pic) what is it, Ivy with purple flowers and green berries?

Bittersweet Nightshade
Reply:My dad called that "goat weed" because cows and sheep wouldn't eat it -- only goats.
Caveat: My dad was fond of ad libbing when he didn't know the answer to something. We'd be walking along through the pasture and I'd say "Hey Dad, what's that plant?" and he'd make up some baloney, like "Oh, that? It's a late-blooming variegated patent-pending."
Reply:Rub your cat on it and see what happens.
(I kid, I kid)
What makes you think it is poisonous?
And why are you so fascinated with touching it?
If the Garden section couldn't answer it then I strongly doubt we would know the answer. My best bet would be to look up pictures of Poison Ivy and compare it to the picture; or, try to find out if there are ways you can tell if plants are poisonous without touching them.
Edit: Nevermind, Jon M seemingly solved the mystery
Reply:Purple Passion Vine.
Maybe?
*EDIT*
Link before was whack. Thats a new one for you.

Reply:It looks like a species of Belladonna (Deadly Night Shade), but the leaf looks slightly different than what I am used to. Have you tried to google images of belladonna or deadly night shade?
Reply:I second nightshade.
Reply:No it does not look like poison ivy or sumac to me
Reply:Looks similar to Deadly night shade.
Reply:It looks like a dicot (from the leaf veins and the number of flower parts)...I'll try tracking it down, and report back later.
Edit: Possibly a Charming Centaury...only purple, 5-petal flower I can find with bright yellow anthers.
Could be a relative of the deadly nightshade, but leaf patterns don't match any I've found.
Could also be a member of the pea family, but, again, I can't find any leaf patterns that match.
Sorry. You might need to check out or buy a wildflower guide.
Edit: I think Sun (below) hit it. Closest I've seen so far.
