One day I was passing by a row of shops where the corner lot was not occupied. I saw these wild plants with pretty white flowers growing beside the drain. I stopped to snap these photos.
The plants were about 4 to 5 feet tall.
As you can see, there are thorns on the branches and underside of the leaves.
I didn't touch the plants or feel the thorns.
I also noticed that there are orange berries on the plant. The flowers and berries are attractive but I kept my distance because of the thorns. I am not sure but these plants look like one of the Spiny Solanums or Nightshade plants.
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
Every king in all the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for all of them shall hear your voice.
Yes, they shall sing about Jehovah's glorious ways,
for his glory is very great.
Yet though he is so great, he respects the humble,
but proud men must keep their distance.
(Psalm 138:4-6, The Living Bible-TLB)
These look like the fruit that tastes a bit like gooseberries. My maid plucked those by the roadside once... but it was a dried plant and I didn't see the leaves or flowers.
ReplyDeleteThese do not look like gooseberries. I am sure your maid knows the difference.
DeleteMy bad, it should be "Cape gooseberry". AKA physalis.
DeleteI think cape gooseberry plant has no thorns.
DeleteVery attractive plants. I wonder if birds eat the berries.
ReplyDeleteThank you, David. I also wondered if they are edible to humans and animals.
DeleteSuch pretty flowers, but wicked looking thorns and leaves! I agree, the berries do look like they are of the solanum family.

Thank you, dear. Have a great day!
DeleteI think I have a photo of a flower very similar to that and I dont think I knew what it was either.
ReplyDeleteSo many flowers that we do not know.
DeleteThe berries look familiar. I have seen them before and in fact even eaten the berries!
ReplyDeleteOh, the berries are edibles? I wonder how they taste like.
DeleteVery cute flowers ☺☺
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalia.
DeleteFlowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear.
DeleteGood that you stop to smell the roses or to be more specific, you take time to notice the beauty of this world in this wild plant with pretty flowers and orange berries.
ReplyDeleteThere is no rushing to pick up children to and from school or rushing to work. Now I have plenty of time to notice and appreciate the beauty around me.
DeleteVery pretty, but if they are nightshade then I don't want to get to close either.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a great day!
DeleteGood that you noticed the corner plants and snapped photos of these beautiful plants. Beauty is eveywhere if we are not always in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Libby. If only we can slow down a bit.
DeleteMy post about beautiful flowers coming up soon too.
ReplyDeleteWill be hopping over to your blog after this.
Delete...they look like nightshade to me, enjoy your day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteThese are pretty flowers and the thorns seems to hurt easily if not handled careful.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I dare not go near them.
DeleteNiezwykłe rośliny o pięknych kwiatach i owocach.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucyna.
DeletePretty plants and blooms, Lovely photos Nancy! Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen.
DeleteI agree, nightshade. Beautiful for sure. But, the thorns.
ReplyDeleteThe thorns will prevent many from going near the plants.
DeleteI agree, it really does look like a kind of Nightshade! Wise to keep your distance. Pretty, but pretty poisonous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteCertainly has a deadly nightshade look about it, leave well alone!! Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane.
DeleteWonderful my friend

DeleteAwesome white flowers:)

DeleteSo pretty! I am sure that I've seen similar plants in the wild here in New Zealand. Of course, I have no idea what its name is, either :)
