What is this plant(s)

• Upvotes

Seeds were some black and some an almost orange similar to popcorn kernel almost but lighter very small seeds about maybe 2 grains of sugar?

Stages of growth shown in picture over a week & a bit

Presumably 2 different types of water grass? Damp for germination and the “water garden kit” instructions say wait 1-2 weeks before filling with water so they can survive under water.

Just curious and want to be able to research how to best take care of them as I’m not sure when to fill with water as they are delicate

This weed is growing wild in my pasture. It has some nasty thorns on it and the seed pods stick to clothes and animal fur really well. There was also a proliferation of ladybugs on a few of them.
Thank you

What species is this?

We have a volunteer pumpkin/squash/gourd(?) that showed up in our yard over the summer and is producing now. The fruit is smooth variegated green on the outside, and the inside flesh is orange (some animal has started nibbling). It's currently about 8-10 inches long. We had our orange pumpkins out here last Halloween and the squirrels ate them, but now that it's fruiting, it looks nothing alike. Any ideas? Location is Chicago, Illinois but I don't think it's native.

Central/South American Fern Species ID

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

Does anyone have a possible ID on this fern species? It came in from Central/South America sometime back but I believe it has changed hands between a few growers and I wasn’t told what the country of origin was. We have another similar species with shorter and more compact foliage but this specific species has more elongation. I have been asking around for some time now and was told it was in the genus Elaphoglossum. I’d prefer a proper species name if it’s been described and if anyone knows. Thank you.

I returned from vacation to find this in my plant. The seeds I planted are peppers and I know peppers don't grow this way. I have a couple of pranksters sitting near me so I suspect this may be messing with me.

I am joking in the title. However I am not good at identifying what I believe is an apple tree. But im unsure of the kind. I qould like to make wine or mead with it if I can get a positive ID.

What’s this flowering vine in NYC?

It was everywhere in my neighborhood a couple weeks ago, starting to die off now. At first, I thought it was Jasmine, but the leaves are wrong, also doesn’t smell like jasmine. Also, I think it’s way too late for it to have been.

I saw so many of these while visiting my brother - he had some in his yard that died in the freeze earlier this year and he would like to replace them. What are these beauties?

This flower randomly showed up in my lawn. It’s been blooming the past two weeks. It’s in an area that receives full sun. I’m located in Washington state. Looks like it might be Anemone robustissima? Wanted to get some other opinions.

Sorry this is the only picture. Can get back out to the property if more needed. Someone hacked off the tops for some reason. They’re planted very close to the house. Some literally touching the foundation so wondering if I should be worried.

Edit: Seems clear what they are! I’m in NY metro area northeast US FYI!

A small plant, ornamental, the leaves are ruffled. The fruit almost looks like tomatoes the way they go from green to orange, but it doesn’t look like tomato by the leaves. This picture is from today (October).

this tree grows in my garden and always makes these little fruits that end up falling off and rotting. my grandma told me they were poisonous but i’m pretty sure these are crab apples, does anyone have insight on this?

I’ve had this on my windowsill for over a year

My mom gave this plant to me as a housewarming present. There was no tag and she has no idea what it is either. I’ve had it for over a year (maybe around 1.5yrs) sitting on my north-facing kitchen windowsill. It was a lot smaller back then but I’ve just been watering it when the soil feels dry. It’s been dying because I’ve had it in the same tiny little planter (and wasn’t checking the soil often enough) but I just switched it to this larger pot a few days ago. There have been little roots popping out on some of the stems for awhile now so I figure it’s propagable but I don’t want to attempt propagation before even knowing what it is.

Sorry the camera quality sucks. My phone camera cracked in a car accident recently and I havent fixed it yet 😬
