I've got to say it sure looks like it! It also matches with your location, if I'm not mistaken.

Beautiful looking plant.

Hi All,

Can anyone help me ID this morning glory?

Back-story: This was found growing at a family friend's house. They're a Mexican family that's has ties to Central Mexico dating back to the 40's. I suspect it came from there but I'm not 100% sure on that.

When I asked what it was, they simply said "morning glories".

I've never seen a morning glory with this type of leaf shape. The flowers are white with a tiny bit of purple around the outer edge. The seed pods and seeds are larger and more round than the regular purple morning glories I've seen.

If we can get an ID of the species, I'll happily send some of these out. They do very well in hot-dry climates if they get a lot of water.

I've only seen them wrapped up and have not seen them fully open so I don't know if there's color inside.

If there's a purple-reddish spot inside, I think they might be Merrimia dissecta "The Alamo Vine", a lesser-known morning glory according to:

Just sent a text message off about the color inside the flower, waiting to hear back from the family.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking it is; in the second leaf photo you can kind of make out the reddish hairy stems shown on this page:

That is a Pilosocereus azureus. Nice find.

Have seen this in a few books but never committed its name to memory.   Common landscaped plant of California.
Photos taken 1/15 Cali zone 9b

Fatsia Japonica!

Doing some research not knowing where to start, thought of oplopanax horridus which happens to be part of the Araliaceae and discovered Fatsia and Tetrapanax are included as well.
Fatsia Japonica and Tetrapanax Papyrifer are very similar though some obvious differences can be observed. F. Japonica may cause contact dermatitis and is not used medicinally while Tetrapanax Papyrifer has history in Chinese herbalism. Both may be found landscaped in warmer regions of the united states.

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.

#2  Unfortunately this pic doesn't show the flower color very well.  Definitely a pale yellow buttercup type flower

**Edit** My extension office identified this one for me.  Here is there statement:
"a species of Sida, likely either southern sida or common fanpetals, Sida ulmifolia ; or Cuban jute or Indian hemp, Sida rhombifolia.  One of the differences between these two species is the length of the peduncle (the slender stalks to which the flowers are attached).  Sida ulmifolia has peduncles less than one cm. long while Sida rhombifolia has peduncles to 4 cm.  Both of these species are native (sic Florida)"

#3  The berries on this guy had a bright purple fluid when squeezed

**Edit** My extension office identified this one for me.  Here is there statement:
"appears to be a species of Ardisia, either the native marlberry, Ardisia escallonioides or the non-native shoebutton ardisia, Ardisia elliptica.  Flower color is one of the characteristics that can be used to differentiate them.  Marlberry has white flowers, while shoebutton ardisia has mauve flowers."

#4  Wish I had gotten a better pic of the flowers on this one

#5 This was actually growing in someone's yard and hanging over their fence

Definitely not sure but plant four looks blueberryish. Flowers are a little large and bright pink but not far off looking otherwise.
