I photographed this in the Red Hills, but have been unable to figure out what it is – even with the help of Mike Haddock’s handy dandy website and page full of purple, blue, lavender and violet wildflowers. It’s surely on that page somewhere.
If you can identify it, please let me know.
Looks like a Nightshade family member; potato,tomato, etc.
I did a search. It looks like it is Solanum dulcamara and goes by several common names – riverbank grape, bittersweet nightshade, woody nightshade. I don’t know what it would be called in Kansas. It is poisonous.
I thought it looked like a wildflower I know as horse nettle, but I couldn’t find it on the site, so I looked under Roger’s suggestion “Solanum dulcamara” in the scientific names. That specific flower wasn’t in there, but others in the same family are including buffalo bur (Solanum rostratum), *western* horse nettle (Solanum dimidiatum), and carolina horse nettle (Solanum carolinense). We have all three growing on our property. The website says that the leaves can be egg shaped to elliptic-lanceolate.
Thanks, y’all. I have no plant-identifying skills.
