Horse Nettle
(Solanum carolinense) |
| In Iowa, anything with "nettle" in its name is likely
to be considered a weed. How you refer to a plant often depends on
your experience with it. For me, the horse nettle is one of the more
interesting wildflowers decorating the landscape. That said, you
can be sure I won't be sharing any horse nettles with anyone. No,
I think I'll just observe them where I find them!
