Found growing on a gravel bar near terrapin creek. Thorny.
That's possible too. While looking around it warned that the two are easy to confuse. Just looking at it, it looks more like the horsenettle.
Hm, could it not be a carolina horsenettle? http://www.eol.org/pages/581115
I used to live in a part of Georgia where it grew wild quite a bit and recognized it instantly, assuming it's the same species. Lovely fall picture, made me a bit nostalgic for home. :)
You're right! Nice work! And it was in October/November. I have always been curious about it!
Either that or it is some other member of the Solanum genus. When did you take the picture, as it looks like it is a member of the Solanaceae family, but most of those would be very much dead at this time of year =)
