Eggplant

Solanum melongena

Description:

The eggplant, is a delicate, tropical perennial, often cultivated as a tender, or half-hardy annual, in temperate climates. The stem, is often spiny. The flower is white to purple. The egg-shaped, glossy, purple-fruit, has white flesh with a meaty texture. My brother has a butterfly garden. Besides growing flowers and host plants, for the butterflies, moths, and caterpillars, he also grows some vegetables in his butterfly garden. One such vegetable, is the eggplant.

Habitat:

Temperate climates.

Notes:

During the summer, I visited my brother. During this visit, I saw my brother's butterfly garden. My brother took a lot of photos of his butterfly garden, during the day, and during the evening. My brother let me have a lot of his photos, for my birthday. This is one of the photos that he gave me. This is a photo of an eggplant, that he grew in his butterfly garden. This eggplant photo, is now my photo, a birthday gift from my brother.
