Hello Soul Grower!! 

Plant number one looks like Acanthocereus tetragonus.  Would you possibly be able to nab a cutting of that or is it somebody's plant?

Yep, I think you're right about that being a blueberry MP!  Good looking out.  I'm gonna bet that one of the people who's home's back up to the park planted it or if it was a volunteer?  I'll def be circling back around for a sampling  ;D

I got you NW!  That cactus is way back in the park off a not so beaten path.  Consider it a late birthday gift  8)  Happy Birthday!!  There's some small pups around the base, so I can probably get you a rooted guy.  Hope you're right about the ID.. gonna keep my eye out for it to fruit!

After looking at some elderberry pics, I'm gonna have to say #3 is not one either.  Very curious about that guy now.  It's tucked under a tree and some palmettos and I could have easily missed it.  Kinda stood out bc the new growth has those bright red tips. 

Thanks guys!

Took my dog on a hike through the woods in a local park today and snapped some pictures of some plants I was hoping to identify.  I'm not that great at photography and I think the sun was probably too high (bright) but hopefully these will do.  If not, I can go take some better pics tomorrow.

This first set is of a cactus on a trail by the bay.

Not a cactus expert, but i just saw this post from ChickasawMan Permanent Cereus Peruvianus "Peruvian Apple" Cutting Giveaway Looks the same.

#5 might be Hippophae, if it only had more narrow leaves
uhm and if the berries grew a bit more at the base, not at the very tips of the branches.

update: today I saw something 5-ish, see pics. Pyracantha it says.

Onandonandon, I would call that one Acanthocereus tetragonus as well, but I do not see that posted in the thread you linked. Are you sure that's where you found it?

Ono that was one of the pictures from the original identification post, i added because it didn't show up in the quote, and the dog too.

Oh I see.  Yeah that one in the other thread is a Cereus peruvianus and this one is a Acanthocereus tetragonus. They look very different to me, but I guess to the untrained eye they would look similar. Lol.

From Cali

Edit: thought it looked familiar! This plant is everywhere in the central valley but was on display at a local flora exhibit at a community college.
Shepherd's Purse-   Capsella Bursa-Pastoris
This plant has medicinal uses as well.

May I please ask for an ID on this guy found in central Florida.

Berry was thin around single hard seed. Smelled really good like kinda candy cherry vanillaish albeit a light smell overall.

MP, the leaf and description of smell would suggest Wax Myrtle perhaps?  The berry isn't right though.. unless is was older maybe (why it is dark).  Saw some wax myrtles today but no berries on em..

Nice Bubblecat!  I believe it might just be Pyracantha.. gotta run back over there though bc I didn't notice it having thorns and I can't tell from my pic.

Cactus ID request:

I think it's some kind of Trichocereus or Cereus but I'm really not sure. I've only seen them at one nursery.

Can't be sure without seeing a flower but it looks like a Gymnocereus to me.
