I always enjoy sharing plants I find because I'm sure they aren't always everywhere so it might be something new for many of you.
I found this one recently and looked it up in my wildflowers book.
It's a perennial that reaches up to three feet high, called the Silver-Leaf Nightshade and blooms from March through October.
As pretty as it is though, it does produce a poisonous fruit later on in it's life cycle. Why do pretty things have to be so bad too?
Beautiful, aren't "weeds" awesome? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have come to have a whole new respect for weeds. Well, SOME weeds anyway, ha.
DeleteThat really is pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is pretty huh? You know if we tried to plant them ON PURPOSE it wouldn't work.
DeleteThey are beautiful aren't they. As well as producing a highly toxic berry, I have heard that they are highly allergenic. Do any of you know if this is true?
