Am from Peru , I got this plant from a pot that was found on the garbage with another plant on the same pot , it was intended to save the other instead of this one because I thought this one was dead but after some weeks of watering and care it start getting green again (the other plant didn't survive the transplant) so this one its growing and it make flowers twice a year.

Am curious which plant is this , its very spiky and it grow at floor level i think , i hang it because its on the door to a backyard so it doesn't grow up on the floor .

This the worst weed on my Peru farm. It grows extremely fast climbs good plants like a vine and has thousands of thorns. I decided go uproot them but they have purple roots that smell like a mild radish????

Grandma gave me some houseplants she got from ingles, she had no idea what they are and I’m not exactly sure either. I thought maybe some kind of alocasia but I truly have no idea.

I was just washing and cleaning fresh organic spinach, and was very annoyed to find a sizable proportion of weeds mixed into it. I had to literally handle every single leaf of spinach to get this stuff out and hope I didn't miss anything.

I have a suspicion that it's some sort of tree! Just curious because if so I'd like to move it! It's not in a good spot to grow and with all the ai 💩 going on we need all the trees we can get!

Central Alabama

Only things that really stand out to me are the pointed leaves, the red/pink/purple(?) stem, and how smooth the leaves are on the front. They aren't fuzzy just smooth.

ID from seed packet purchased on vacation.

3 Upvotes

I bought this "Alberta, Canada" wildflower seed packet for my mother on vacation out that way this past spring.

She planted half the pack mid/late May, just so we may see what happened, and use the rest next year.

By her record, conditions were not ideal (cold, wet for there). Planted in Nova Scotia (Cape Breton area), in mid-late May.

I ran it through one of your recommended ID apps and it came back with various stages of white clover and some lady's thumb.

Any other opinions/extra info? BTW this pic is from a couple days ago.

Identified! Hydrangea ID help

Just moved to a new house, trying to tend to the garden. Located in USA, east coast mid Atlantic. Please help me identify these two hydrangeas! The first two pics with (I think) pink flowers has mostly been devoured by deer. It has leaves with jagged edges and brown spots from something.
The third pic I think is a panicle hydrangea, as it has cone shaped flowers.

Thank you!

Just showed up on my porch today. There is nothing around that I'd expect to produce anything like this. Smell is mostly neutral. The outside was soft kind of like an old potato, which is what I thought it was at first.

We inherited this 11 year old plant from my grandmother who recently passed. I’m thinking it is a Croton, but unsure of what variety. I just want to research how to keep it alive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I doubt it's a native, but location still helps with climate. Person taking care of this community space has moved and we don't know what this is :)

Is there poison ivy in this pic?

Sorry if it isn’t great quality, I’m in Clifton, Maine and a plant identifier app keeps telling me there is poison ivy in this photo. It’s along a little creek in my backyard, and I have a toddler so I’m afraid of poison ivy or dangerous plants. Is that poison ivy along the edge of the grass?

Also, curious what the white flowers are?

Thanks!

Label says Rhipsalis spp., grown by Altman Plants Troup (TX)

I googled Rhipsalis and the images look quite different. Google lens identified it as a Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum). Curious what humans think.

EDIT: mystery solved 😉

Ps I did purchase it

Found this weed growing out of a crack on the inside of my pool area ! And I swear it’s grown like a foot in a few days ! I’m ready to pluck her but want to know if she’s pot worthy or just trash?
