Hi @minismallholding! The eggplant flowers do look very similar to the Bittersweet Nightshade and yes, they are in the same family. But while doing my research I found nothing except for the whole plant was toxic. I will have to check out @artemislives post because I am very interested if eggplant can be used can be used as a topical medicine for skin cancer. Thanks for telling me about that and thanks for stopping by! : )
