Looks like Ricinus communis (Castor bean).  Not winter hardy in
cold climates, but grown as an annual.


Reminds me of Salvia argentea, but the flowers do not seem right.


Poke weed,  Phytolacca americana.  Not sure what it is
doing in Bulgaria, but it is a weed and very likely to escape
cultivation anywhere it is taken (spread by birds eating
the fruit).
