Be relaxed ...


Scientific name: Solanum laxum Album 
The Potato vine, a wonderful shrubby twining climber bloom is a treat to watch. This is very suitable ornamental cover for trellis, walls, arches or for growing across lattice for shade. The star shaped white flowers are slightly fragrant, about 2.5 cm dia with a central yellow beak. I saw this plant in Coonoor while attending a conference there. It was attached to a leaning fence, calling my attention. I was relaxing around the fence and snapped the spike on 2nd December 2011.
