Tiny Enchanter

I have to admit, this day I wasn't feeling very inspired to take any photos. I just wandered the yard aimlessly looking for something interesting. Nothing was catching me. Then I noticed these little plants in the grove behind my house. At first what caught my eye was the small round seed pods or burrs along the stem. Then I saw the tiny white flowers and was drawn in. They seemed so precious, cute and enchanting. Later I learned this plant is called 'enchanter's nightshade'. Appropriate name, I'd say.

I'm wondering though, could these be those annoying burrs that can stick to your clothes or your pets fur and leave a tangled mess? If that's the case, these plants are not so precious after all.
