A little blog about Southern Californian nature and gardening.

Blue Witch Nightshade.
Solanum Xanti
Best smelling of the Solanum I have encountered. The green spots at the corolla base indentify it as sp. Xanti but I also found mutant flowers.

Abnormal flower with a cleft corolla and brown markings instead of green.
Other flowers on the same inflorescence were typical. I wonder why two flowers were aberrant? In October the humidity here is so low that the sky is actualy bluer. Fire season.
