Can anyone tell me what this is? I just pulled a bunch of seedheads and I need to know what it is before I plant it next year. Thanks!

Gaillardia if I had to guess.

Thank'ee, kind sir. I suspected, but never having grown it before, wasn't sure.

Yes, it's gaillarda. They act like perennials in my garden, I have never planted any from seeds.

Calling all hands! Mick, are you out there? Sorry about the quality of the pics. The last one includes a standard sized ball point pen to help give an idea of size. I'm wildly guessing it could be some sort of Gibbaeum or a relative, but .......

I fancy Crassula more than Gibbaeum.
Which one though? Could be a cross of globosa and arta?

Thank you, Mick! My first guess had been Crassula, but the top clump made me wonder if it weren't a Gibbaeum grown in insufficient light. The fact that I put it in direct sun & it didn't burn should have told me something, though. Anyway, this web pic sure does look like what I have: C. arta ~

OK, everyone, I'm hoping some smartypants can help me. I started a lot of seeds this year and, as usual, some didn't come up. So I dumped the soil from all the duds into a large pot, and then this came up. I have no idea what it is. Nothing else like it came up and of course, I didn't write down everything I planted this year like I should have. Any clues? It's probably a flower, certainly not a vegetable. Help?

My initial thought was that it was a pepper or chili plant. However if it's a flower I've no idea...have you kept any of your seed packets Lizzie? Maybe that would narrow it down a bit...

No, most of my seeds are ones I've picked up from friends or on the street myself. The UBC botanical forums mentioned it might be a capiscum. If so, it's a miracle because I used sterile soil and I never planted any peppers! Thanks, Cheery!

Lizzy, is there any chance that's a four o'clock?

I don't think so, bixa, although I'd love some of them!

Well then, I have to say I'm in the pepper plant camp.

I came across this rampant and very pretty vine on a residential fence in a town north of the city. It's obviously a legume, but what? You can see its pods in the second picture. Some of them had gotten quite large, but were totally green inside, not showing the least bit of embryonic bean or pea.

Reminds me of the perennial sweet pea.

I am completely perplexed by this tree ( or maybe trees). Unfortunately I was not able to get up close to it to really have a good look so the photo below is taken with zoom. It's even more annoying that the tree is not identified in the facebook page of the garden, asking visitors instead to id it for themselves. I have asked for more info ...but no response. Anyway its really lovely I think... my best guess is that is a type of conifer that is dying / regenerating But I may be way off ?? Any ideas guys ? I am posting it as large as possible. live.staticflickr.com/65535/51145718080_ba883b61b3_b.jpglive.staticflickr.com/65535/51145393279_8d2ab9b5fd_b.jpg

Best not rush with a response... After careful consideration over a long period of time I'd say that was a moth orchid with seed pods.

It does not look healthy to me, whatever it is.

It looks like the diseased conifers in the Vosges mountains, ravaged both by acid rain and general air pollution wafting from the east (I didn't want to actually write "Germany.").

I can't ID the conifer looking trees but was able to ID the lovely vine that Bixa posted previously. It's Vigna caracalla, AKA "corkscrew vine". I posted a specimen of it some years ago in the glorious Vines thread. It's an heirloom vine that thrives in heat and is also fragrant!

Thanks Bixa - I will have a look and see. I am more convinced and optimistic that it is / they are not dying or unhealthy. Anyway I will try to go back soon and get up closer to see.

From dipping around in other hits, I am going to guess that Lugg's tree(s) might be Japanese Plume Cedar / Cryptomeria japonica ‘Elegans’. I think that is it - I also used that handy plant ID tool Htmb posted and that is what it came up with too as most likely option. Thank you

This is the beautiful flower of the tree I am sat under. No idea what it is.
