Looks like a variety of Phalaenopsis gigantea, send a pic to the guys at Akatsuka, they would know for sure.

This stuff grows everywhere here but its not a listed noxious weed or a listed native plant and I havent found it on any of the plant identification keys.
It grows to 6' tall and the seeds are like tiny dandelion seeds and its either an annual or a biennial, USDA zone 7a with scorching hot summers, any ideas?

Crataegus sp. I think. If it is, the berries are edible and are said to have health benefits.

Thank you. There are only 3 ssp. around here and they are said to be hardly distinguished and usually bastardised. So no meed for further clarification. I will cultivate it.

Can anyone help give me a ID on this shrub...  I'm thinking Nanking Cherry (Peunus Tomentosa)...  But we do have similar poisons shrubs around here.  Located In Canada Zone 3B (Alberta).   Did not notice the flowers or buds on this shrub, she snuck into the front garden.   Noticable white hairs on berrys as discribed for Nanking Cherrys...Fruits are tart tasing.   

Any help positivly ID'ing this bush would be greatly appreciate,

Hello, I found these beauties in a very humid area in northern Costa Rica at 5500 feet elevation. They grow abundantly in the cloud forest understore and in close vicinity of Psychotria elata. They form clusters of small shrubs, growing about  5 feet tall. The flowers are beautiful purple spots in the rain forest. The leafs are almost identical to P. elata.
I am quite sure that these are Psychotrias, but I am not sure which species. The closest match I found is Psychotria colorata but I couldn't find any reports of P. colorata for Costa Rica. Any ideas?
Btw, I brought plenty of material home, so if someone is interested in trading, please let me know.




I always had issues posting images, :), so if you can't see them, here are the direct links:

@EVENEVE looks almost like acacia but idk.. where is the location, and is it a grass or tree or bush? thanks  8)

Can anyone help ID this seed.. it looks kindof like a smiling mouth.. it's 10+ years old, but might be sprouting..


Also this plant was sold as Fo-ti, fallopia multiflora, but not sure, it doesn't look exactly like pictures of fo-ti to me..
it has unusual musky smell, like dirty clothes or something, but also nice, i have never read of fo-ti smell described.


i like this plant, great house plant, fast growing even in shade, and fun smells. please ID if possible thanks :)

The seed looks like Mucuna sp. sometimes called the hamburger bean.
