Hi gardenqueen,
It's in my outbox dated 20 Aug, 20.47 hrs so not sure why you didn't receive it.  You've done what I suggested anyway so it doesn't matter now.

Edited to add:
I sent it as a Personal Message on the forum, not as an email.  At the top of the Home Page, you'll see something like:

Hey, gardenquuen, you have 1 message, 1 is new

If you click on 1 message, it will take you to your PM area where you can read and reply to Personal Messages.

It looks like it could be one of the pokeweeds. (http://www.guenther-blaich.de/pflseite.php?par=Phytolacca+esculenta&abs=pflgs&fm=pflfamla)  I had one grow on a compost heap years ago out of nowhere.  The seeds pass through birds undigested so I assumed that was where it came from.

Brilliant! Spot on I think ceres.  :)

The web says it's Korean name is "Ja-ri-gong". A perennial that gets pretty big and is frost hard.

I agree with the Poke root ID. Iwas given a plant many years ago. I dont have it any more, its very invasive and hallucinogenic.
