Is it edible purslane?

Is it edible purslane?

I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing! I was really sure it was but it doesn’t have a tart flavour, which has given me pause. No milky sap at all. Thanks!

Found near Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Probably like 6 inches in length. There were some bigger ones too!

It’s the interesting one in the middle of all the others

What is this plant in Illinois?

This weed grows in and near our garden every season. We're located in the bottom part of Illinois. I attached a few pics of the plant with its flowers and with the green lantern looking things it grows.

Vegetable Garden Interloper- Maryland, USA

This is nestled among my peppers and tomatoes.

Update: I should have known. Ive been in this sub for a year, I guess I just rarely see them so young.

I forgot what I planted

A few months ago I went a little crazy and planted a bunch of vegetable seeds (I think) that I got online. Unfortunately I didn’t write down what I planted and now have completely forgot. Can’t tell ifs some of these are weeds or…?

Situated in Sydney Australia but these being likely edibles, not native.

Please help!!

Please Help, Mushroom in Snake plant

I’ve had these planted in this pot for months. I have no idea what happened. I watered it exactly as normal and came back to this. I don’t know what kind of mushroom this is. Is it poisonous? How do I get it out without killing my plant? Should I wear gloves or something??? The plant is in a 50/50 mix of cactus soil and sand, as was advised from a botany professor. Please help, I don’t know what to do… 😦😖🌱 I have cats as well

Hairy bulbs on a plant grew up in my garden!

I was just moving some pots around and found these hairy bulbs growing from a plant I never noticed before. I hope the pictures are good enough and I took another one with a ginger and rosemary for scale(I know the ginger has a bug eating its leaves, its been a struggle).

For reference I'm in the tropics, Costa Rican central area(tropical rainforest?), climate is tropical and I'm on an altitude of around 1300m if that helps. At the moment, heavy rains have been back and it flowered/grew now.

I'm kinda new to plants, any info is appreciated. Thanks!

What is this plant? NW Washington. Some resources say Morning Glory and others say bindweed, either way it’s very aggressive and smells bad. (Complementary Frankie in his “burrow”.)

What type of Lilly is this?

I’m looking for some help with the ID of this Lilly, we recently moved into my bfs grandpa’s house and inherited this beautiful patch of heirloom Lilly’s. This plant is at least 20 years old but we’ve heard it could be closer to 25-30, they come back strong every year. The person who planted them has passed away and since we’ve moved in last year we’ve been trying to get a solid ID on them. I’ve had them identified as Tiger Lilly (which I don’t think is right), Day Lilly and True Lilly. I’m really only looking for a ID but if anyone has info on how to harvest seeds from this plant that would be appreciated as I want to extended them to the flower bed next to it- TIA

Edit to add location- Northern Ontario, Canada

Please help identify, Southern California

My mom has 3 of these plants in her yard but we have no clue what they are. They are bush like, very dense. The plant is not sticky or thorny. Is there a proper way to trim them?

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
