I found a patch of horsenettles during a late summer walk where I photographed this flower. It was about 1″ across. The Carolina Horsenettle Solanum carolinense is not really a nettle but a member of the nightshade family as is tomato. It does have thorns on the stem and under leaves. It is toxic. Quoting Wikipedia:
All parts of the plant, including its tomato-like fruit, are poisonous to varying degrees due to the presence of solanine glycoalkaloids which is a toxic alkaloid and one of the plant’s natural defenses. While ingesting any part of the plant can cause fever, headache, scratchy throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, ingesting the fruit can cause abdominal pain, circulatory and respiratory depression, or even death.
It seemed a good candidate to draw. The lighting emphasized texture and shading challenges.
My View 
Hope it’s in a natural place. I just hosed my rock walkways with a mixture of vinegar, epsom salt and dish soap. If it’s not supposed to be there, it dies.
Yes. It is in a good place away from our lot. Does that mixture do a good job?
It is equal to more effective than herbicide you buy at the store.
You have to use 20 percent acidic vinegar which is available via Amazon
It must have a potent smell at that %. Whew!
Good to know!
I really enjoy all the members of this family, and I enjoyed your drawing. Well done. Those banana-shaped stamens are a tell-tale sign of the family.
Thank you. I also thought they looked like tiny bananas. I like the star shape of the flowers.
I needed to visit my nearest nature center today on a non-photographic mission, but I did notice several of these lovely flowers blooming. Next week, I’ll go back and see if some nice, fresh ones have bloomed — but it was fun to see them and think of your drawing.
Painting flowers is so calming, isn’t it?
I love seeing your art. 😊

I do agree. There are so many ways we can be stressed or worried in life. Painting and drawing allow us to focus and put those distractions aside for a while.
Thank you for your comments. It is good.
Peace
Nicey done. I like how you handled the background.
Thank you.
