Fun plant! - September 13th, 2004 at 03:06 PM
I just love how fun this plant is - common names are Wonder Egg plant and Easter Egg plant. Latin name is Solanum ovigerum. Starts out with a small bright purple flower, grows into a chicken egg sized fruit, which actually feels hard like an egg shell. Then it turns yellow, orange, and finally brown when it's done.
I can't tell you how many people - adults too! - have asked me if they were "real" eggs growing on that plant!?!
