Ouch!!

Naranjilla (Solanum quitoense) has no mercy any way you come in contact with it, underside, stem, wherever.
Its needle sharp appearance is outright visible and not deceptive, shouting "touch me and you get pierced".

Sharp banner Fleur!

That photo was a prickly proposition!

That's a combination of Touch me Not and Forget me Not!

Wicked! But new to me. A most startling banner.

very unusual banner, and certainly eye-catching!

I so want to try this fruit. And I dont even like tomatoes

It looks like a form of horticultural torture for slugs and bugs.

This is a unique and totally new plant for me. If there's something new it will eventually show up in the DB. As noted before we can always learn something here; and that is to our benefit! Naranjilla (Solanum quitoense)

It was an experience to see this plant at the Botanical Garden, but you wouldn't want to brush against it. That it bears fruit in the tomato family also surprised me. Glad you found it interesting even as "wicked" as it looks. Thank you for your responses.
