silverleaf nightshade

Solanum elaeagnifolium, one of the very few flowers left in the fields after weeks of drought and heat...

 

"The lavender, star-shaped flowers with yellow centers are beautifully set off by the silvery foliage, and large patches of the plant in full bloom are striking. However, the plant is an aggressive, poisonous weed, spreading steadily from deep rootstocks; in a few states it is classified as a noxious weed."
