I do like to pop in now and again, Yorkshire, to see what's new, and in bloom. :-))

I had assumed that as they were a Solanum that they were, but had to ask as they look rather appealing.

solanum? like potatoes? could see where they might be dangerous to have around children...they look apetizing.

Yes, Lori, and also as in "Nightshade". Belladonna and nipplefruit - femmes fatales, indeed, lol!
