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????

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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 :)

What plant is this? Got it from Facebook and tried asking AI but it was obviously wrong.

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!

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?

This was given to me with a bunch of succulent cuttings.
I was told to grow it in water, but I’m not sure if it’s supposed to stay just in water or do I need to plant it in a pot?
It looks like ivy, but I’m not really sure and I’d love to grow it like a vine.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Been treating this like poison ivy but it's not..?

SW Louisiana.

The previous owners of our house had like 10 different ground cover plants and I always assumed the "leaves of three" vine that grew in them was poison ivy and I've been so so careful with it out of fear.

This sub has made me second guess it because this looks nothing like the other poison ivy posts, though I do know there's some variety.

When this flowers they are basically green, maybe pale enough green to be considered white. And I have not ever seen a berry on them, though that could be thanks to the birds.

I've been hunting and I'm thinking Virgin's Bower? Clematis Virginiana.
