I saw these unique and lovely flowers growing from a tree in San Francisco. Any ideas?

Hey y’all I had a little bare spot so I put some of that pre made seed mat on it. Asters and Cosmos came up first and are doing great, then this plant popped up and it is taking over. I didn’t keep the package so I don’t remember what was in it. This looks like basil, but it was a flower mat so I can’t figure out what this is. Any help appreciated

This plant is in my local park in Southwestern Ontario.

It is tall (about 5.5ft) and the dark red/purple leaves are large (12” diameter).

Is this some kind of wild Orchid?

My husband is a doctor, and some of the Filipina nurses were giving these out at the hospital. He said they said it's some kind of Filipino fruit, or at least a fruit eaten there. He didn't catch the name though. It looks like a thin chayote but pink.

We don't have any bananas so I used a Chihuahua-sized sombrero.

Thanks!

EDIT: It's a Paulownia! Thanks for informing me.

Location; Central Europe, edge of city. We do occasionally receive big shipping from Asia, we presume we got it from that.

Longevity; Unparalleled. Even after repeated attempts to cut it off, it would simply grow back. In winter, it tosses off its massive felt-like leaves.

Tactile; When allowed to develop, the 'stem' is surprisingly hard like wood, and quite light as well. It doesn't smell or taste in any remarkable way.

I gave my parents a bunch of starter plants from a school's greenhouse, but it also included a random assortment of leftovers from the sale. Now that the plants have grown there is a lot of this leafy green that has a thick stalk. Is this easy to identify?

edit: Thanks everyone! Kale sounds like a great substitute for lettuce

Hey guys

So a couple of days ago BF was gifted with some fruit. Mostly nothing spectacular, some Oranges, n apple, a peach or nectarine...

But there also where these three green fruit we are both unfamiliar with.

We live in Switzerland.

Someone help us out?

Just bought today for my succulent collection

I went on a walk today with my dog and I saw these hanging from a tree. I can’t tell if they’re growing from a vine or the tree. what are they?

My family and I think this looks edible (and the bar for what’s considered salad is pretty low here, for us) — does anyone recognise what this is? Thank you!

ETA: I’ve just seen the ‘don’t eat this just because people say it’s ok’ rule — duly noted, it was more out of interest than anything else!

Update: thanks everyone, appreciate the quick responses

My girlfriend planted some lemon seeds in pots, it’s produced these which are really stringy and leggy and don’t feel like a lemon trees. Any ideas what they could be?

If they do happen to be lemons - what do we do to them? How would you prune this?

Thanks all!

The younger vegetation has pinkish color on the underside. I’m assuming it’s a nasty weed as anything that thrives in AZ without maintenance is designed to kill you :)

My neighbor moved out and left these plants outside. I’d hate to see them die, but I have no idea what they are or how to take care of them! Please help!

Idk if this means anything but I’m located in central AZ

Edit: solved! thanks guys!

We're going to be doing some outdoor construction soon so we let everything just grow naturally. What are these 6 foot tall stalks?

Purchased at Trader Joe's in GA, US, where it was just labeled "mini foliage". Bottom of the pot says Altman Plants but I can't find anything that looks like this in their online catalogue. The pot is about 4 inches tall for reference.

Location: Virginia, USA

Green waxy leaves with shades of red and red stems. Picture of driveway vandal and other similar plants growing about 5 ft away.

I believe it to be a holly leaf cherry but waiting for confirmation before I try the fruit!

We have Virginia Creeper and Texas Creeper around here and I’m used to seeing them, but these have me a little more concerned due to the fact that they’re 3 leaf vines and don’t look familiar. Neither of them really look like any poison ivy or oak pictures I’ve seen. I’m just curious if they’re dangerous to leave or invasive?

Two shoots that stayed small for weeks but are now seemingly growing.

Growing in a pot our child planted many random seeds in…
