Been caring for this tree for years and have no idea what it is.

Plant was grown from a mystery seed in another planter ordered online. Suspect tamarind but maybe mimosa (silk tree). It’s not a sensitive plant as it doesn’t react to touch. Nyctinastic at night. Photos of bark included.

Tree seems to enjoy unlimited moisture and will drop leaves it gets dry but will recover fine once watering is continued. I should probably repot it but would like to know what I’m dealing with before doing anything else for its care.

Whoops Edit: forgot to include the leaves are very soft and smooth, like touching silk

Memory issues

I recently purchased this dry herb. I didn’t write the name on the bag because I’ve used it many times and should know exactly what it is. But due to some memory issues of late I have no idea what it is. I don’t recognize it at all. Is there someone that recognizes this?

What plant is this?

This plant started growing in my pepper bed. I noticed it one day while I was pulling small weeds, along with a random peanut plant (that I’m assuming is from one of the any birds in my yard). Accidentally pulled the peanut plant and quickly put it back in because I was talking about wanting a peanut plant 2 days before.

Edit: the plant pricked my thumb and the area swelled a bit

Help identifying what’s in garden please

My mother doesn’t remember what plant this is. She thinks it’s clematis but I have doubts. TYIA

Edit: I believe this is a vine

Plant ID help, in-laws claim these are hostas

My in-laws bought seeds from amazon that looked like an extremely colorful hosta in early spring. They grew them inside and now have tranplantable starts. I was pretty sure they were being scammed but did not say anything because of not wanting to cause problems. Today my father in law gifted me two of the plants. Before I plant these in my yard can anyone identify them? I dont want to plant an invasive or harmful anything in my yard. Indiana, USA for context.

2 strange wild plants - ID request?

In SW Iowa, zone 5b. I have let these two plants develop untouched in my garden all season long for fear of uprooting a native plant. Can anyone help me to identify these two plants? The tall, jagged leafed plant is swarming with carpenter ants right now.

Can anyone identify what kind of prickly pear this is?

I tried using some apps, but they all gave inconsistent results, but engelsman cactus apple was what it had highest confidence on. I have never seen it flower or fruit.

Baby Plant Doe

I submitted this plant when I first got it and it only had one leaf so it was difficult to identify and intimately I wasn’t able to figure out what it is. Now that it’s growing new shoots I’m hoping it has enough characteristics that it can be identified. Seems to prefer partial light and watering a couple times a week.

Unlabeled herb at the asian market. What is it?

It has a mild grassy aroma and flavor. The stem is fibrous. It also has very small "thorns" that are not sharp and very bendy.

UPDATE: solved! It's Rau Ngót (sweet leaf). I'm going to try making Canh Rau Ngót (a Vietnamese soup) with it.
