WTF!?!? Who has THORNS on their LEAVES??? Do tell. Wow. Ouch. I also like the middle one - reminds me of how bindweed works, or morning glories. Ah, plant technology. Wonderful.
Close. I think the morning glories and bindweed are related, though not in the same family. Distant cousins perhaps to the solanaceae family, which includes tomatoes and these two plants. The white one unfurling, a Datura. The gnarly thorny one Solanum pyracanthon. Fierce, I know!
