Deadly nightshade does like to grow in the shade and the damp, but it seems to also enjoy full sun, like its relatives, potatoes and tomatoes. It's an attractive plant, and pretty much all of it is poisonous: this is one reason why Europeans were so suspicious of potatoes and tomatoes. It is also called Belladonna (Italian: beautiful woman) because liquid made from the plant was used to dilate the pupils of women to achieve a cosmetic effect. The above-ground parts of the potato and tomato plants are also poisonous; both are usually vines and can creep to quite a height. Potato flowers are very attractive, purple with yellow centres, and the vines grow in my courtyard to be much taller than me. Because of the poisonous reputation of the belladonna, it took the French Queen Marie Antoinette to make a fashion of wearing potato flowers in her hair to spark interest in potatoes.

What are three ways plants help the earth?
Well, one is that we breathe in Oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide. Plants do the exact opposite. We need Oxygen to breathe, and plants breathe out Oxygen. That helps every living thing. Another is that plants help the food chain by events usually in this order: Plants make food-Bugs eat the plants-Birds eat the bugs-Less bugs mean more food for humans-We eat the food the plants make-We grow new plants. Thirdly, plants provide shelter and shade. They grow into trees which in turn can bear food. Hope this helped!
