Bittersweet nightshade - Solánum dulcamára - Паслён сладко-горький - #ccc

This small handicraft hid from human eyes behind a small but old stump. I did not immediately see him. The berries were hidden behind his foliage. I had to stand on one knee to take this picture.

Everything that was inside the bush I saw already at home. When I transferred photos from the camera to my computer. I immediately saw that people in this place were. This is indicated by a blue lid from a drink. The best place for garbage, people did not find.

Let's return to our today's hero. This nightshade is sweet-bitter. It is very similar to a small bush of tomato, and the berries are very similar. This is not surprising. they are close relatives. Tomato, potatoes, pastel, belong to the same family.

I mentioned potatoes not by chance. You know that green potato tubers can be severely poisoned. So the fruits of nightshade cause a similar poisoning. It can end with a fatal outcome.

Information diverges, some consider nightshade edible and medicinal plant, others believe that it is extremely toxic. It is said that it is sweet-sour, which means that somebody has tasted it. I do not want to risk. You can poison both ripe and green berries.

It's like a hussar roulette, when there is one bullet in the revolver drum, and the players, rotating the drum, hold the revolver barrel at their temple, then press the trigger of the revolver.

The second comparison can be a culinary adventure to specific seafood, such as fish Fugu.

But, folk medicine, it uses it as a sedative, an anti-asthma and cough remedy, with skin diseases such as eczema. Use the herbaceous part of the plant in the form of powders and tinctures.

So there was a small acquaintance with this plant. I returned the next day and cleared the bush of garbage. Now it looks much more beautiful, but, those photos will already be in another article.
