Since I skipped a new question yesterday, I am posting TWO now! 1. The following are members of what family? potato, tobacco and petunia. 2. The loganberry is a cross between which two fruits? and who created this particular berry?
1. All are members of the Solanaceae or nightshade family 2.Created in 1883 by James H. Logan when he accidentally crossed Rubus idaeus 'Red Antwerp' with Rubus vitifolius 'Aughinbaugh.
#1 deadly nightshade #2 x between red raspberries and blackberries by a man whose surname was Logan. Thus the loganberry was created, accidentally.
Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants that include tobacco, potato and petunia. The family is also informally known as the nightshade - or potato family. Loganberry is a hybrid variety of American blackberry and European red raspberry which is used for making jelly, jams, pies and wines.
You all have the correct answers! I am truly impressed! I am going to post a new one in the morning, after of course I get a cup of coffee and my thinking cap on!
