Red flower/fruit shaped like a plum tomato?
I saw a small shrub the other day, which had red flower heads which looked and felt like red peppers but were the shape of a plum tomato.
Anybody have any ideas what they were?
PS – It was neither of the above!!
Just followed the link – those are so pretty, but they aren’t what I saw the other day. Those are much more delicate – these flowers/fruit were almost solid, just like a pepper.
Thanks for your answer tho!
