    Can anyone help me identify this tiny flower I found growing wild in Northern Ohio in early June? It's about a half inch across. Thanks. Photo is attached.

    Looks like Solanum dulcamara, bittersweet nightshade. Related to tomato.

    Jaxmao, Solanum dulcamara, Yes! Google this name and get the whole story. They are pretty, but highly invasive and all, or parts are poison. barb
