I collect plants from my own property. every year some new plan/weeds show up, but instead of killing them I put new guests in designated area and enjoy them as they grow. My front yard is my "Laboratory" even thou some people think that i don't have enough money to buy weed-killer spray. Well... we all different. Most of my guest I can easily to find in my numerous books or internet, but there is one - nobody can tell me EXACTLY what is it. So, your help will unveil one of the mystery of my "Laboratory" (P.S. Yes I went to botanical garden - they have some similar plant but not exact. They suggest it belongs to POISON families) Please see this plant on my profile (Photos) I call it "What is this plant" Thank you for your attention. Andrei (Brooklyn, NY) Attachments:   |

OK, I didn't know the species name, but I was right when I said it looked like it was in the Nightshade Family!!! (I had commented about the plant in his blog) |

Leaves like a radish and spines like a thistle Yeah! Good idea about the song! Let's compose it together. One phrase from every one. Leaves like a radish and spines like a thistle... Buffalo’s timeless and poisonous friend... |
