Domestic Blackberry. JoAnn planted a few of these in one of her garden areas, fenced in to keep the deer out. Now they have completely taken over and if we took the fence down I bet the deer would be afraid to get near. When the berries are at the very peak of their ripeness they are delicious but much less so any other time. There is a tiny insect on the 4 o'clock flower petal.
