What is plant with miniature potatoe flowers/berries
In article , paul
writes I've found a plant that is very small and has flowers that are basically miniature potatoe flowers, white on outside and orange/yellow in middle It porduces berries that look like miniature tomatoes (about the size of rowan berries) but turn dark purple/black The leaveas are not unlike potatoes/tomatoes but the plant grows not more than about 6inches hight Anyone know what it is and is it poisonous? Could be black nightshade - a relative of potato and tomato (and also of belladonna, deadly nightshade, thornapple, sweet pepper and aubergine) Mots of the plant is poisonous, the berries may not be, but I wouldn't experiment with any member of that family. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |
