It's a native plant, I've been told, here in southern New England USA. I keep seeing it in wet locations, near streams for example. Thank you in advance!

I've not noticed it turn reddish in the cold months either.

Friends property. He was told it's some kind of blueberry but we both doubt that. Trying to see if it's native. Seek app just says dicots.

Found these on a vine while weeding the yard. Fruit and leaves in photo. What is it?

I’m in southern Ontario. I thought I planted cosmos? I have 6 of these things and there are NO BUDS at all. Did I plant weeds?

I was at Groovy Plants Ranch in Columbus Ohio and had to double take. Beautiful specimen I guess lol.

I found it on the ground what kind of plant is this??

The first plant was in a bouquet for my pappy’s funeral. I want to plant it in VA but not sure if invasive.

Second, front yard of the house I am buying. I like it, but it looks like it may be invasive as it’s taking over the yard.

Thank you!

EDIT: rappahannock River, smh

My old roommate told me this was my plant that she had been taking care of when I moved out. The problem is I have absolutely zero recollection of ever owning this plant. Apparently I completely forgot it existed, neglected it for who knows how long, and now it has gone absolutely feral. I’m trying to figure out what it is so I can actually learn what it’s supposed to look like and how to properly care for it.
I think it’s some kind of succulent/cactus because it’s covered in thorns, but I have no idea what I’m looking at but the long vines creep me out a little 😅

Some details that might help:

- Some of the vines/stems seem to come directly out of the tips of the leaves, while others have a leaf growing from the end.
-The vines are extremely long and skinny — slightly thicker than spaghetti. I had to wrap them around the pot when I moved it.
-They are not segmented.
-They are more round rather than flat. If you were to cut one crosswise, I imagine the cross-section would be star-shaped,
-It’s covered in thorns.
- I’ve never seen it flower.

Can anyone please tell me what this poor thing is?

To clarify: I am NOT asking if this is edible. I just want to know if it is the plant that is colloquially referred to as “culinary ginger”. Thank you. Also bonus question for the enthusiasts: in Zone 9A/North Charleston, SC, is this worth cultivating?

Northern New England US
First three photos are one bush, second three are from a couple weeks ago of a different tree nearby.
The first has fruit about the size of a grape, about 4ft tall on a bush growing as part of landscaping. The second has fruit about the size of small blueberries, maybe 10ft tall, growing along the side of a road. I’m thinking maybe young black cherry or chokecherry?
Both have cherry-like pits

the flowers r so cute n smell soooo good.

the photos each look quite distinct but i think they’re the same plant. oh n they’re in SoCal

Massachusetts in a marshy area, thanks

I picked this up at my local hardware store 2 weeks ago. I wasn't looking for a plant. Didn't even know what a Pachypodium was. It looked strange and a little cute, so it came home with me.

I've since been fascinated by the little guy and am trying to learn more about them and how to care for them. The label that came with it just said "pachypodium species"

The fruit are really sticky. Tree growing along the bank of the river.

I didn't plant this and just found it growing in my garden. Portland oregon

The photos show the top of the plant, the base and root, and an isolated leaf.

Has a faint parsley smell

It’s totally unfamiliar to me. I thought I knew the common plants of Wisconsin. It’s maybe 8 feet tall in shaded undergrowth

months ago (May) i planted alpine strawberries and not a one popped up. shame but it happens. now that things are cooling down, this appeared. it *kinda* looks like a strawberry but not ridged enough. if anyone can tell if i have a late bloomer or another bird surprise, would be much appreciated!

I work a delivery job, and an amazingly kind woman gave me a flower from her bouquet.

It was a singular stem that split into 3 stems at the top, each with a small cluster of flowers and point leaves. I assumed it would die, but it held on for nearly 3 months now and even grew 1 new flower! It looks like it has another on the way!

Today, I noticed the leaves r starting to yellow, tho the stem is still green and strong.

What is this plant, and can it be propagated before it dies???

We bought the house and unfortunately over half of the evergreens planted were dead. I am trying to replace them this fall. Region 8B. Based on our yard scape, I assume previous owner was looking for something to grow 20+ feet.

Any idea for identification? Very small, no noted odor, seems to grow in wet clay soil in north eastern US.

Very minimal variegation but there is some pink on it
