On the left, bittersweet nightshade, Solanum dulcamara
Family solanaceae has such recognizable flowers...
On the right, Solanum sessiliflorum, the flower of a delicious fruit, the cocona, that grows (among other places) in the Amazon. See how they're similar? #solanaceae #nightshades

The #mandrake #Mandragora #officinarum (#Solanaceae) is native to the #Mediterranean region,evtl. except for the Levant, where it might be M. #autumnalis. It prefers open and drier #habitats. Its #roots can vaguely resemble #humanfigures, which is why it had #spiritual significance in the Middle Ages. G. Benítez et al.(2023) studied its history as a #medicinalplant.

2 new books on #plants & the #nonhuman in #Literature & #Culture
Elizabeth A. Campbell explores the #Solanaceae (belladonna, potato, tobacco, pepper, tomato etc) in diverse texts such as poetry & fiction but also botanical treatises, newspaper reports & medical ads -
A Chalice Cup Vine flower (Solandra maxima).
It is huge and rather threatening in its overblown voluptuousness.
Solanaceae, so either good to eat or - way more likely - deadly poisonous.

These little #berries popped out to me after mowing the yard. There's some #nightshaColorADayt particular area, these may be part of that.

Mandragora autumnalis, in bloom. A month ago there was nothing but a dormant root underground. This one is as strong as beautiful.

None of the [not-tomato] seeds that I sowed in the pot at the onset of summer ever germinated, but apparently some seeds from last year's cherry tomatoes survived the frosty winter and germinated in numbers instead.
Interestingly, one of the plants has “eggplant coloured” leaves and tomatoes (though I don't know what the colour will be like once they're ripe), and I've never had any “black” tomatoes in my garden until now (and the rest of the plants in the rather big pot have the normal green colour) so either the plants last year were promiscuous, or a mutation has happened. Whichever the case, I hope they will be tasty. 😋
Speaking of frost-hardy tomato seeds:
Starting tomatoes from seeds is challenging here because of the peculiar spring climate we have: most often it is too damn cold for too long time, and then at the beginning of June it goes from very cold spring to almost summer in just one day. So what happens is I keep thinking it's much too cold for sowing yet until it's almost too late. When will I learn…
But since tomato seeds apparently are frost-hardy, how about just sowing the whole lot outside in the autumn, then they can germinate at their own pace when they feel the temperature is appropriate. Would that be such a bad idea? Has any of you guys grown tomatoes from seeds that way?

Late because of a rough start, the #Sunviva @opensourceseeds tomatoes are slowly getting there. 😋

Tonight I got a picture of a black vine weevil (_Otiorhynchus sulcatus_), on a vine. That is all.

A dried tomatillo from my garden a few years ago. I've never found confirmation in the literature, but these fruit get blown around quite easily and thus seem capable of long-distance seed dispersal. But I'm not sure whether wild varieties trap their seeds in the same way. It could be the case that artificial selection by breeders has favored lineages that make seed collection easy, and these spherical seed packets certainly do that. #botany #gardening #Solanaceae #Physalis #seeds #fruit #evolution #plants

“Black” tomatoes… How do I gauge when they're ripe? Will they turn red or yellow?
