Beautiful But Deadly

This is Western Horsenettle and it is very pretty but it is also toxic, especially to animals. It is a member of the nightshade family. It is a big problem for cattle and horses that graze. Don't let your pets eat it either. All parts of the plant are toxic with the fruit being the worst.
