    Hi! I'm new to this forum that I found while trying to Google-identify some wildflower weeds in my yard. Can anyone help me identify this pretty little thing?

    Solanum spp. - ie, one of the Nightshades. There are thousands.

    If the flowers are pink and the fruits red this might well be Solanum dulcamara.

    S. dulcamara here forms a vine, though. Is yours herbaceous, KyGardenLady?
