Does anyone know what this is?? And how to properly get rid of it??? Every millimeter of it is covered in needle-like thorns that pierce through every pair of gloves I have tried to use and hurt when touched with the slightest pressure. It’s getting huge and some of its “branches” are rooting back into the ground and growing roots. It was the one plant almost all summer but now it’s popping up in other areas near the big one. I live in New Jersey if that helps, but have never seen something like this

Came across vibe growing on a fence on a wall this morning. "Fruits" are oblong with pointy ends and the one I opened was mostly hollow with no smell. PNW

I noticed today I have this gigantic plant growing in the sliver of land between my neighbors and I. We have an acre closer to Angleton, TX. Is this something sort of squash? The giant leaves and flowers made me think pumpkin family but I'll admit my ignorance with plants.

Edit: apparently I've got myself dinner. Thanks, everyone! Admittedly (as someone raised on chicken nuggets) I'm ignorant with many vegetables 😅

I want to do something with these lemons. I’ve no idea what, but something.

I love whatever it is. Searched through an entire prairie of Illinois (where I found it) book to find it and couldn’t find it

I could squeeze out a thick clear sap, it smelled like sweet pineapple but tasted strongly bitter. It has a large pit inside.

Edit- in Florida
Edit 2.0- it’s soapberry. Thank u all for playing😄

Spotted on a walk next to the River Coquet at Warkworth, I’m guessing an orchid of some kind but can find a uk match myself. Anyone know the answer?

Google suggests sedum tornado or aichryson but when looking through them neither seem quite right

I got a cutting from a friend years ago. From what I recall he said it was a lime or lemon type plant from costa rica. The leaves definitely smell lemoney. I'd love to get some more details on what it actually is.

Hello everyone,

I am currently on vacation in italy and a local gave me a plant, saying its absinth, saying it grows like weeds over here and he gave it to me with the root to multiply at home if i wanted to.

Now.. what exactly is this plant (official name), how do i care for it, does it have any 'stimulating' properties?

I AM NOT TRYING TO EAT IT (reddit thinks i want a consumption plan. I want to know what it is and do my own further research)

The local said it makes you funny in the head so... any information would help greatly.

Thanks in advance! Have a great day :)

Edit: thanks guys! Seems to be solved as mugwort vulgaris 🙏

These all popped up this spring.

Pictures 1-3 are the same plant, as are 4-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-13)2, and 13-14.

Hi all,
Can you please help me figure out what kind of rhipsalis is in this photo? The plant circled in red. Not the shark tooth cactus.

Can anybody tell me the exact name of this native nc wildflower? They are one of several yellow wildflowers that are prominent in the piedmont area of NC in the fall. I’ve heard swamp sunflower but the foliage just isn’t lining up.

Thinking hoya linearis, any imput would be awesome cus i am sure im wrong not gonna lie. 😂

Hello! This might seem like a bit of silly question but are these fruits crabapples or small unripe pears. I lean towards crabapples but I’m not totally sure because of the shape. Thanks for the help!

Growing next to the back porch, next to a volunteer box elder, the tree type, not the shrub type. Both need to get removed and/or relocated.

Leaves are that shiny on their own. We’re in the middle of a drought. Tipton County Tennessee.

Thanks

its very pretty to me for some reason even though i havent seen the tiny flowers it has bloom yet, the leaves have these whispy hairs at the base of them that i find cool and it seems something was munching on it the other day :) would like to know what it is

Kids were at the playground and pulled this up. There were more but that was the only one that came up at the root.

Told them to not touch them and washed our hands.

Edit: young pokeweed. Obviously my kids won’t eat it but we will pull up what we can next time we are there. I do not want the city to spray the park gravel.

30cm high. Got it free from a deceased estate

My housemate found this at the bottom of his very dead plant, WTF is this?

I’m guessing some variegated pothos? But I have no idea. Just want to know so I can take care of it correctly!

Wondering what this is. Thank you!
