| Here in zone 5, in September, I found this in bloom in an overgrown garden. What is it? SHOW ME YOUR CRITTERS! I have a critter page over at Cubits. http://cubits.org/crittergarde... |

| Using the plant ID forum and database at DG, I've determined it's Lycium chinense. SHOW ME YOUR CRITTERS! I have a critter page over at Cubits. http://cubits.org/crittergarde... |

I'm glad you found it! I have Lycium barbarum and I kept thinking that bloom looked familiar. Duh.  I garden for the pollinators. |

| Don't transplant it in your garden, even if you feel you like the flower (although I doubt... ) or you think of the miraculous effects of the fruit. One you have it in your garden you will never get rid of it. Roots go deep deep deep. It's a battle, really. |

| Thanks for the advice. I was debating whether or not to leave it where I found it or put it on the "chop me til I give up" list.... SHOW ME YOUR CRITTERS! I have a critter page over at Cubits. http://cubits.org/crittergarde... |
