A weed that irritates everyone, thorny, leaves are shot through with holes from being fed on by many of its personal insect hosts, but...this is a native plant, related to tomatoes and T'ai Roulston's work in Shenandoah Valley shows that for some bumblebees this is the main pollen source in the summer.  So, inspect you preconceived notions and maybe let a few horse nettles (Solanum carolinense) bloom in the back of your garden.  Don't be a flower snob.  Specimen and picture by Helen Lowe Metzman, Howard County, MD.    #horsenettle #flowersnob #nativeplant #pollinatorplant #pollination #bumblebees #flowers #usgs #bees #nativebees #conservation #ugly #forlorn #ignored
