| Hi all,
New to the boards, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. my friend posted a picture of a really interesting looking flower he found growing naturally in his back yard (in Austin, TX, I believe) which we've been struggling to identify. It reminds me a bit of morning glories, but I know that's not what it is. Any help? Here's a link: http://i.imgur.com/8RzLs.jpg Thanks in advance. |

| Looks like a nightshade of some sort, maybe Solanum elaeagnifolium |

| It is either Silver-leaf Nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium) or Western Horsenettle (Solanum dimidiatum) Both are Texas natives! |

| Thanks for the suggestions you guys! It's quite a beautiful flower. I'm glad to know what it is! |
