It looks like it's a species of mistletoe in the genus Psittacanthus, maybe P. acinarius. The genus was thought to have polycotyledonus seedlings, but the lobes appear to be part of the endocarp. The growths stuck to the metal are seedlings that have germinated.

Looks like they could go extinct in people keep harvesting them like they do now. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5222650 I wonder if Kyrgyzstan has less harvesting pressure on the snow lotus?

The only thing close to this I found on Amazon was a Greek/Roman style woman's head which I thought would still look pretty much like Medusa!

Possibly a Pereskia, with the lumpy structures being fruits. They are actually part of the cactus family. More pictures.

From my aging biology degree, I seem to recall that certain varieties of petunia are very suspectable to transposon jumping and so have very distinctive colouration. Ah yes - good photos here: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Stable-two-element-control-of-dTph1-transposition-a-Stuurman-Kuhlemeier/91a480fba1c80770f2ebb6776fc81100041388ca

Interesting note: a species of Ceiba is the Maya world tree, Yax che. It’s depicted on the famous sarcophagus lid of Pakal at Palenque. Mesoamerican cultures also made vase-like incense burners with the spikes to represent Ceiba.

This seems to look more like a potato Stolbur, a reaction to an infection. Here is an article with pictures

I have a sneaking suspicion not all of those plants are alive. But, here are some ideas on how to make your own (I just Googled 'DIY terrarium,' to be honest).

Key point is to get small plants that don't need a ton of water, or it'll get soupy in there. So succulents, cacti, moss are all good.

Could it be this? More pictures.

Nope. Not nightshade. It is Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) http://greenskydesigns.com/weed-of-the-week-7-hairy-bittercress-cardamine-hirsuta-brassicaceae Nightshade looks like a small tomato plant or vine. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/415048/nightshade

Well there is something similar. While it is not realtime the app plantnet lets you take a photo of a plant(leaves, flowers or overall appearance) and compares it to thousands of pictures from plants and gives you suggestions for what the plant may be with pictures to verify it yourself.

PlantNet android app

Looks like a London Plane tree leaf. Perhaps an errant leaf blew to your yard from a neighbor?

Edit: or a sycamore, though I really can't tell the difference.

That's a LOT of mealy bugs. Oh gawd.

Not sure what the plant is, but if you want to keep it, I would say your best bet is to take a cutting from a clean part of the plant, and toss the rest. :/

*Edit - if you really want to attempt to get rid of the bugs, see here.

Definitely Moth orchid!

I currently live in South FL, my beach town’s motto is “where the tropics begin” and these orchids are insanely common though not native You can buy them at virtually any grocery or home improvement store for $12 or so.

I lash them to my palm trees with moss and fishing line until the roots fuse on, in an attempt to replicate how they grow in the wild in the South Pacific. The sometimes dry out or get too much sun because while it’s tropical af here it’s not rain forest tropical.

They bloom about twice a year and if I fertilize them with this blue stuff they spike more and with way more blooms.

It looks to be some kind of kale. Maybe russian kale? Since it is tough, kale is usually braised or put into soups. My favorite is kale chips.

There is an app I just found. It's called "Picture This" and does a pretty darn good job of identification of plants. Even grass and weeds! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.danatech.xingseus

I hope that helps next time.

It's a moon cactus grafted to what is likely a dragonfruit succulent stock. They need high amounts of light and will not survive in an office environment without a growlight like this on it at least 8 hrs a day:

If there is no drainage hole in that mug be very careful about watering. Too much and the plant will rot, too little and the roots will dry up and die.

Lake worth beach is one of the best free ones around and down town lake worth is pretty laid back.

The fort lauderdale water taxi is always a blast and of course beach place, but that's kind of far.

Deerfield beach over the bridge by Big Kahunas and Flanigans is fun too.

And of course, lion country safari.

I tell people, "If you're bored down here it's your own fault". Lol

There's a mix of purple lossestrife and foxglove. The loosestrife has smaller flowers and the foxgloves are cup shaped and larger. I do not think they are larkspur.

Edit: Searching for larkspur vs loosestrife you can see how different the flowers are. Tho similar inflorescences. https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=purple%20larkspur%20vs%20purple%20loosestrife

orange tube shaped flowers remind me of wild Trumpet Vine. don’t know the real name but in oklahoma the grow like wild ill over structures . (edit: i think its name is Campus Radicans https://www.shutterstock.com/search/trumpet+vine

That seems like a good guess to me but I'm not sure from the photos. (Side note: Metasequoia glyptostroboides is just too fun to say for its own good...)

They definitely have dawn redwoods at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. They're mentioned in this good article about the family of trees. You can find a mention of the location of the trees on page 25 of the Zoonooz but the location given is only general.

For the OP:

• if you want something with a similar appearance that is easy to grow and easy to find commercially, look out for Podocarpus. There are a few common varieties and they're quite attractive.
• If you're looking for a big tree, you might consider Grevillea robusta, but that turns into a big tree so be forewarned.
• Finally, a somewhat different looking tree with a divided leaf but a California native is the Catalina Ironwood, Lyonothamnus floribundus. They also have that at the Safari Park, or used to. I've always wanted one but don't have an appropriate spot for it. I suspect they are slow growers, though.

Noice! I'd say go with a nice 20gal heavy poly pot with a couple inches of gravel lining the bottom of the pot, topped by a couple inches of sand and Sandy soil for the rest. could screw it down to a 1000lb dolly from harbor freight or amazon

Plant net app is so neat, you can upload pics/screenshots and it tells you what the plant is😀 (i am sadly not some genius of plantlife. Haha)

Check out field guides published for your local area, they sometimes contain interesting info on individual species, like where the name came from medicinal uses, etc. For a more general overview of families, I highly recommend Botany in a Day!

I think you're right. It has one of those berries on it. Not a bunch, but I did find two. Thank you sir! https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOJf6J_TMT6cmwTiqtFxsSIirw-Qz8n9OJV_cRz

This is the right answer. Specifically it is a kind found on potatoes and is called a Stolbur.

Here is a link with similar pictures

Here is a link talking about the fungus that causes it

It has been identified as a Norway Maple. This is how it looked on the tree. According to the wiki the structure is called a corymb or inflorescence whatever that means to you

well - leaves on young trees and in the shade can be atypical - if I were to look only at the second picture, I'd agree with blackcatblack on red oak of some sort, the dark color and striated patterns in the appearance of the bark is more of what I'd expect from that - the first picture shows bark with a gray cast with plates, more of a white oak family characteristic -

looking at the range maps, red oak is a better bet than chinquapin -

the lack of any deep lobes on the leaves of the tree in question, even given the atypical possibilities, gives me pause -

here's is the USDA field guide to oak trees - I was working with a hard copy of Deam for my first post -

given the appearance of the area, I'd speculate that your broken giant is a remnant left from a pastured area/era - shade for the stock - it appears quite a lot older than anything else in the picture and the other species you mention are successional species -

dunno - from this distance, I have not the confidence of bcb -

cut a small section from the top, split out a straw of heart wood about 6 inches long, place one end in a cup of water, blow on the other end and see if you can make bubbles appear in the glass - if so, it's red oak, if not, it's white oak -

It looks like an ash gourd, but I can't really tell how big the fruit is. If it grows to be as big as a soccer ball, it may very well be an ash gourd. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KWV8KPX/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_S0KVQZ6F1WT0R9N0D97W

https://identify.plantnet.org/canada/observations/1010607619 From observation and imputing your photos into the PlantNet app it is a cherry tree, specifically cherry plum.

Michael Dirr’s Manual of Woody Plants.

Standard reference book of woody ornamentals, but he is a Viburnum expert so he covers native viburnums.

This is the edition I have but he may have a newer version.

It's native to North America and an invasive weed in other parts of the world. This tree has an interesting history. You might find this article interesting. And if you are still thirsty for more info, I recommend this book from Amazon.

Howdy!! Thanks for the nice words. I actually grew them from seed. There's a business that sells the seeds on Amazon. It's called Outsidepride. To redirect to their offering, click here

They’re from a Cacti/Succulent Seed Starter Kit which can be found on Amazon. Also, might be a Yucca. Other people posted pictures of the same plant with their concerns and the seller replied back that they’re yucca plants.

Put it in a shady, semi-shady spot come spring and make a trellis for it. These are too short but they come in different sizes and the big box stores usually carry them as well although I think their pricing is absurd.

I've used kitchen tongs on smaller ones. I have never tried it but maybe silicon oven mit. I do believe there are gloves that have protective coating on fingers that would work but they are expensive. https://www.amazon.ca/Gloves-Deerskin-Women-Gardening-Handling/dp/B09PBHJ4S4/ref=asc\_df\_B09PBHJ4S4/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=580876084721&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2667491647927473323&hvpone=&hvptwo=&...

You can eat these spiders

I have them under a 9W grow light at 12". The lemon balm has grown very well under it for the last month. The purple heart has been slowly propagating since transfer.

I recently added a mycorrhizal compound to every other watering. All the plants have loved it.

Good drainage, not too much water and some good, organic fertilizer. Maybe be something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009HLVIY0/?tag=morningchores-20&th=1

And, as always, mulch with good organic compost, toss in some worm castings and coffee grounds every once in a while. Lots of blooms throughout the year.

Not colour altered, they were redish brown, I thought they were dying but after checking google apparently there’s similar on stuttlestock

As to your question how you can grow your own, if you still choose to after reading the other comments, here you go.

I cook it to 165 F. Table scraps when you eat good lean meats and veggies isn’t bad. Table scraps when you eat pizza is not good. I based my recipe on a book Home-Prepared Dog and Cat Diets,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/0813801192?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and also a dog food mix recipe I used 20 years ago (Essex pets) where you added apple, green veg, orange veg, eggs, oil, alfalfa etc. I used the text book to make certain I was feeding enough calories/ protein then adding the nutrient variety to that.

Google Verbena. The little flowers have looser petals that can blow individually in the wind the lantana are a more rigid structure petal. Look at the picture on this sales page If you cant see a difference between the above pic and the link you need to get your eyes checked I'm not being sarcastic some people don't realize how bad their eyes have gotten.

All of that long thin growth on your cacti means they are etiolated, or not receiving enough light. Bunny ears are very light hungry even for cacti. Without enough light, your cacti will weaken and become sickly over time. Eventually this could kill them.

Light thru a window is weak compared to direct sunlight outside and is usually insufficient for cacti. You should purchase a good grow light and leave it on above them for 8-10hrs/day. Otherwise, unless you live somewhere that gets a ton of sun and you can leave them outside, they will continue to stretch.

Here is the grow light I use: https://www.amazon.com/SANSI-Daylight-Spectrum-Sunlight-Greenhouse/dp/B07BRKG7X1 I leave it on for 10hrs/day and have it about 5in above my cactus.

Natrulo Poison Ivy Soap Bar - All... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088VYQ7N5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It works wonders. Never will I get another shot. I've stopped poison ivy or whatever it was from spreading multiple times now.

I highly recommend a grow light. This one has stopped my most light-hungry cactus from etiolating. I have it about 5in above the cactus and leave it on ~10hrs/day (when I'm not home I turn it off).

Bald Cypress. It needs water. You can water efficiently with little wasted water with a watering bag. bag

I have mine under a grow light near an eastern window. Even with that it started to get leggy. I moved the light closer even though I was worried it’d be too strong. It’s not, she’s much happier now and less leggy. It almost touches the light bulbs. I have progress photos on my profile.

Also as another person said - you have to rotate them. Even though mine is under a grow light it still stretches a little unevenly and I rotate it about a quarter turn a day.

To literally everyone with poison ivy in your back yard.
Buy something like this:

It is a scrub that will take off the oils. It has saved me so many times and i can't recommend it enough.

You can buy a good grow light if you can't give the plant enough sun. I use this and this, ~6in from plants, and left on for 8-10hrs/day.

Mammillaria sp. - front left

Bunny ears cactus (Opuntia microdasys 'Rufida') - back right

Fairy castle cactus (Acanthocereus tetragonus 'Fairy Castle') - front right

Not sure about the other one.

They need a lot of light and minimal water. I would buy a good grow light (I use this and this) and leave it on them 8-10hrs/day, ~5 or 6in away from the plants, or put them outside in full sun all day. Only water when soil is completely dry. I can't tell what they're potted in, but it sort of looks like tree bark chips. I would change that to a mix of cactus soil and perlite. Don't water for a few days before or after repotting.

I'm guessing the app [PictureThis - Plant Identifier](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.danatech.xingseus) wont work on metal plates... And thats the only way I can ever help with these.

Peonies grow quickly in spring and have large heavy flowers around the end of May. They’re beautiful but if you don’t put a support frame around them the stems will bend over and the flowers will get ruined. Where I live there are usually thunderstorms around that time and it’s frustrating to see them gorgeous one day and bending down to the mud after a storm. The frames have to be put in right now so the stems can grow into them; it’s difficult to install them later.

This is just one type, I like the ones with a flat grid on top better.

I've had a mind to get one of those things they use at tennis courts to pick them up, but I'm worried that they'll be too heavy. And I don't want to spend $70-100 dollars on something that might not work.

Get one of these dandelion puller. Our neighbors have a bird feeder with thistle that the birds like to poop out in our yard. It is the only thing I’ve found that works and doesn’t require back breaking digging.

So I’ve been trying to find it because several have asked for it now.

This is the Amazon link but for some reason I’m not seeing the cat listed anymore.

I would argue that cacti can be difficult to id without a good look at their spines and/or flowers. However, this could be a young Pachycereus schottii. If this is correct, try this resource for use and geographical information: The Great Cacti: Ethnobotany & Biogeography

I had to do ID for the USDA on this topic. The biggest difference you will see between the two is that a cherry leaf come to a sharp point and that point is a bit elongated compared to the plum. Plum leaves are generally rounded at the tip. Google images of the two leaves and compare them. Cherry leaves are generally not as wide and the point it comes to is like a 30-40 degree angle. Plums generally come to a larger angle tip at about 90 degrees. There are a crazy amount of plums though with slightly different shapes, so it is a bit difficult.

Here is an example of some shape differences seen in plumspic of different plum leaf shapes

Also purple leaf cherries are somewhat rare from my experience compared to purple leaf plums.

On another thing: Sand cherries are shrubs while purple leaf plums are short trees.

Edit: added what is below It is really difficult and it take a lot of time to be able to tell the difference between a cherry and a plum.

Are you sure it's not just a less mature monstera deliciosa leaf that has the splits down the side but not the internal fenestrations yet, like the one on the left here?

https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/monstera-plant-leaves-tropical-evergreen-vine-699071755

Yes. If OP wants them to sprout, he/she will need to use sandpaper to wear away a hole in the husk for water to get in, or they will not sprout. They can last hundreds, if not thousands of years in the sealed husk.

Found a tree here in Florida unsure what it is. I initially thought it was a magnolia tree but it has edges on the broad leaves. It stands about 3 foot tall right now. picture 1 http://tinypic.com/r/1zlqd5g/8

Picture 2 http://tinypic.com/r/2ziaama/8

this says they'll grow in zones 3-8 but I don't have any real experience with them myself

Side note - Invest in a Hori Hori. A good one. Seriously it's one of my most used garden tools.

Nice! Same genus :)

Good luck with the hamster, I used to keep mine in a tub like this. They are very busy little guys and so fun.

Large Leaf chives.

Sure! It's just a normal terracotta pot, with no ceramic glaze on the outside. Terracotta pots with glaze or paint on the outside will prevent water from evaporating through the terracotta. I like to buy these ones for my succulents.

No, it's the graft tape they use to hold the grafted branches in place.

It certainly shares a resemblance, but i think the flowers are too small compared to jasmine.

the flowers pictured in my OP are tiny, around the size of a bb or small marble.

thanks for the reply!

Looks like Wild Pomegranate - lol factor 10, there is even a stock photo from Croatia - https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/wild-pomegranate-croatia-481056601

If you have good grow lights that should be fine. If the light isn’t very good (and isn’t putting out much heat) move it as close as possible to the plant. Mammillarias are a little more forgiving with lights than other cacti IME.

If you need a recommendation, I use these lights, about 5 inches from my cacti: https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Lights-Spectrum-Equivalent-Greenhouse/dp/B07V6YJKR6/

Not my photo, but relevant: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/lisse-south-hollandthe-netherlands-april-142018-1078894802

It looks like a Zinna plant to me, going by the shape of the bud and how the leaves are growing. Here's a photo I found for reference: Zinna buds.

I have quite a few in my garden as well! I live in the US (Maryland).

Looks like peaches. Serrated edge and leaf shape is right.

Possibly something else in the genus Prunus, but my bet is peaches..

Maybe some sort of holly like Ilex crenata? https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=ilex+crenata+variegata#id=86CD0014D477795CE0EDE9CACCB5C4F2DEA17C8B

Phalaenopsis Blume, commonly known as moth orchids. Applying ice cubes weekly as you are has the beneficial effect of providing hydration slowly as the ice melts, as opposed to watering directly which runs through bark based planting medium not providing an optimum amount of water to the plant.

I provide my orchids a weekly foliar mist feeding of Miracle Grow Foliar Fertilizer, (less frequently during dormancy) and have had very healthy growth and blooms for years from the same plants. I tried watering directly with water soluble fertilizer with unremarkable results. So I do the "stupid" (as others call it) slow drip ice cube watering method and have proven results. My orchids live it and it's easy.

Here's the fertilizer I use that gives me results: Miracle Grow Orchid Foliar Mist Fertilizer

By the way, your orchids are gorgeous!

I have two of these in my back yard, one yellow and one pink. I found it on google image search (linked in title) but couldn't find the name. Closeup of flowers. The photos aren't mine but it looks exactly like what I have. I am in zone 7A.

Same ones <strong>here</strong> and <strong>here</strong> I guess, but no name there either… : /

It's going to be hard to give you a definitive ID without another picture or two, especially if you could provide a picture from further back. At first blush, it looks like an allium of some kind. I particularly like those long bright pink stamens!

There are green satsumas that aren't illustrated in that link.

thank you for appreciating this amazing lupine with me! this was my first time being consciously aware of seeing one and i was in awe seeing the plant in person.

below I’ve posted a link that includes two different perspectives of this lupine.
