Thorny Pest

I believe it's called "horse nettle" or solanum carolinense. No open flowers when I took these this evening. White flowers look similar to tomato blossoms. Plant is in same family as tomatoes thus the similarity in blossoms. It is not a true nettle. All parts of the plant are poisonous. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_carolinense
