The rains have helped this grow quite large. The flower is past it's prime, but still shows the coloration.

You must saw Solanum melongena.... wait for fruits...they are edible and used in India in daily meals.

Thanks for the ID direction Dan. The flowers look similar, though not as faded as mine.

Flower find in many plants. Solanum is one of them.

I just put one up. It is past it's prime in color. I was hoping to find one in better shape. What do you think Ashish?
