Hebrew University Plants




I am told this is called Brugmansia. It's in the Solanum family, same as the horse nettle we had in Indiana, which was small and ugly. Other Solanum get 15 feet high. A "family" in the plant world is a pretty broad family.


Al took this picture in November.


And I took this one in January, after the rose bushes had been pruned. Nobody prunes cactus, as far as I know.


This is a cyclamen, also called a rock plant, because they love to grow amid rocks. They bloom in white and in shades of pink and red.
