05.31.07 POTATO BLOSSOMS


These unusual flowers have just started blooming on the potato plants. Yes, they do look a bit like tomato blossoms, a bit larger and in two colors, though. Potatoes and tomatoes are in the same plant family, from one we eat the swollen root and from the other we eat the fruit. Remarkable food from a peculiar plant.
