It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is Carolina Horse Nettle. It is in the Nightshade family so it is related to tomatoes. It usually blooms May through September. It produces small yellow fruits that resemble tomatoes but are poisonous. Even though they are poisonous to humans and livestock, several types of birds like wild Turkeys, Pheasants and Quail will consume them.
not around here I don't think.
ReplyDeleteGlad to miss the nettles and the poison frit
Yes, probably a good one not to have.
