A great reminder, takes me back. An elderly lady in the village where I grew up used to be very keen on them, and grew them in her garden, but I have hardly ever seen them since.

@MsKathleen I think she did eat them yes, in fact I think she shared one with me. She lived as I remember for many years, but she would be about a hundred and twenty now.

@MsKathleen Maybe I am confusing them with Cape Gooseberries, it was a long time ago.

It's a beautiful plant. I've never heard of it before.

@MsKathleen yeah, I'll be content to look at pictures of it. 😉

They're very pretty, but don't ever bring them into your home.

A member of the nightshade family, all parts of the plant are poisonous, I grew up with them.

@MsKathleen Since the seeds are edible only when ripe, life with in death fits it well.
