Solanum ID
Someone gave me this strangely spiny thing this spring, its covered in
orange spines and has just started flowering (purple blue, solanum like) It apparently was growing by the road side in South Africa. In case its an annual does anyone know which Solanum it may be as I wouldn't mind growing it again!
