looking to ID plant from Georgia (SE US)

[Kali]

somebody on another board looking to ID this:




comments were: it gets super tall and then flops over in an arch b/c of the weight of all these waxy seed pods. it has white/yellowish flowers in the spring and then these vibrant red/blue waxy spike of seedpods in the fall. they have sort of a tuberous taproot. the leaves are (i think) whorled with 4 leaves at each node.

poke? The berry and green leaf is similiar...the purple leaf and the way the berries hang are not the same ....very neat. Thanks for posting this.

Here is a pic of poke for comparison:
