Can anyone identify this plant ???
Hi all, I'm new here so I hope I've selected an appropriate group.
I have a wierd plant which has taken up residence in my garden. It grew from seed, probably dropped by the birds, and I've not been able to identify it so far... It's about 18 inches high so far (grown from seed this year), and has a prickly fruit and white flower with a very broad leaf. You can see pictures of the plant here ... http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/m.t...zrOlFB38HXVEVt Can anyone help? Many thanks, Treeza. |

Try Googling on images of Thornapple. That's by far the most common 'wierd plant' that we get asked about ;-) -- Kay |

Actually, it look a bit like Thornapple, but not exactly the same - perhaps there are different varieties?? Try this link to see my pictures - I've uploaded to a new image share as Yahoo seems a bit temperamental. http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n171/treeza_02/ |

Looks like I have this one nailed. Can't imagine how it came into the garden though - the seeds look too big for birds to have brought it in. |

Stinkweed. Devil's Trumpet. Apple of Peru. halucagenic, causing dizziness, drowsyness, nausea, coma and death, so don't eat the fruit, nor any other part of it for that matter, the seeds being the worst culprit for causing death, but the rest of the plant is used in herbal medicine, but I wouldn't try any of this at home: http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/t/thorna12.html |

The thornapple is a bitter narcotic plant that relieves pain and
encourages healing. It has a long history of use as a herbal medicine, though it is very poisonous and should be used with extreme caution. |
