Fruitful

This week's roadside-plant-of-the-week looks exotic (at least I think it does) but is cursed with the distinctly unromantic name of Ground Cherry. It's in the Nightshade family. What I thought was interesting is that I found two plants in different stages of development, just across the road from each other. One still showed the pretty dusty-yellow flowers that are hidden under the leaves, but the other had already advanced into the fruiting stage. It's hard to believe it's the same plant.
