we have these in our backyard. very interesting fruits.
Bizzare shape and color..but interesting
Apple of Sodom, Calotropis procera is a plant native to the Dead Sea and Sodom, Israel and other desert regions. ** Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_of_Sodom_(disambiguation)
here in Thailand ..it is an eggplant...not apple. lol
I believe the common name of this eggplant is Foxface. In my city, though, people call it the Mickey Mouse plant. :) It's very popular as an ornamental plant hereabouts.
Very wacky! Would be great if they dried like this : )
I saw the thumbnail and I thought it was a joke! Amazing!
Ha, I remember this shot! Tour de Negros ;)
not to eat it is toxic but seems tasty !!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_mammosum Wikipedia article, good info!
