Re: Re: lantana and mystery plant questions

[Guest guest]

I just figured out the picture portion of the site. It is definitely in the

nightshade family--

this includes tobacco, tomatoes, peppers, and deadly nightshade. Some are quite

poisonous;

others aren't, obviously. I can't tell what it is from the photo. You might

check the Sunset

Western Garden Book for descriptions. Look under Solanum. It might be Jerusalem

cherry,

Solanum pseudocapsicum.

Thanks. This is a great start.

I looked under Jerusalem Cherry and solanum on the web. I was unable to find an

exact match though. The fruit is small and the flowers look more potato-like in

shape, though they have a bluish center. I think I might have to chock this one

up as possibly poisonous and should be admired from a far.

Is the Sunset Western Garden Book on the web?
