Obviously a climber. I have several of theese potted, probably for a reason, but no ID.

Leaves do not grow in pairs but alternating. 'Alternate simple leaves'

Another detail are the small pairs of (useless ?) pointy growth at each node.

Every node has one leaf, two "tongue" like things and younger nodes have a climber / tendril.

I hope its bougainvillea - beautifull. Dont remember planting tho
Celastrus ? Solanum ?


Looks very much like Passiflora
Alternate leaves & tendrils
"Pointy things" are stipules

My money is on passiflora as well!

Is this Phalaris Arundinacea? I've been trying to spot it in the local area, and this looks a lot like what I've seen in pictures, but I'm not sure...

idk grawerandashower someone else will.

Anyone know what these seeds could be?



Found in the backyard, i think a squirrel might have dropped it, because i never seen them before.

Looks like a seed cone of Liriodendron tulipifera -Tulip Poplar

useless invasive weed

Not useless, its a medicinal plant that also makes lemon flavored beer.
The only hard part is finding a person who thinks lemon beer is a good idea   
Two of its medicinal properties are diuretic and aphrodisiac effects, another great combination.
But its not useless!

Thanks very much Botanicus and Auxin.. that was misunderstanding, certainly all weeds have unknown uses.
..i was referring to someone posting stupid adds above me that got deleted... but the tulip tree is pretty cool.

Found an interesting volunteer in the yard today.  Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to differentiate Acacia longifolia from Acacia acuminata?
I have seen plants with "broad leaf type", "narrow leaf type", and plants that are mixed, showing broad leaf on one side, and narrow leaf on the other.

For example, see pictures, showing what I suspect to be acuminata, but just dont know. Also attached are pods and seeds of this specimen

I kinda thought so too.  The seed is only about the size of a silver dollar though..  Maybe though. Def lots of mangos around and plenty of squirrels too (how it ended up there?).  Maybe it will turn into a mango variety with small seeds!

There is a smaller wild type mango relative called a maprang. Long shot but maybe. However I've grown maprang before and they come up that color but then so do many mango sprouts. Its definitely a mango of sorts.

Hey folks, I need help in aligning my thoughts as to whether this plant is in fact lambs-quarters or something else. It's growing alongside my cherry tomatoes - same pot. My first inclination was indeed lambs-quarters so hopefully someone can help identify and clarify which plant this is. I've recently noticed it is producing a kind of white dust under the leaf, of which is very typical of lambs-quarters. The dust isn't very visible, however. I'll leave this here in case anyone can provide a different angle.

Thanks in advance!

Its the most likely answer. Seeds/flowers should confirm it for you in a couple weeks.
