#plantid — Public Fediverse posts

#PlantID #plantidentification we saw these plants on a field in Latvia, obviously some field crop. Approx. 80cm height, planted in intervals of about 1 meter. Nobody I asked has the slightest idea, can you help? #Lettland #Latvia

@lukeharby not a botanist but I like searching for stuff like this. spider mites seems to be the closest contender. See If you can see tiny red dots within the web. There’s also a fungal thread blight, and wooly aphids, but the pictures I find online are nowhere near that uniform distribution like in your photos.
Also, I’ve seen such questions under #plantid and #bugid tags

Hey #FediVerse I have a #Botany question.

This shrub is just up the road from me, I pass it on my dogwalk.

I think there are two species along the row, one of them seems to be almost entirely covered in webbing or what look like cobwebs. The webbing appears to be only on the more browned parts of the plant.

I've lived here almost 30 years and don't recall seeing this phenomenon. Or at least I think I don't.

Anyone know what this might be? My guess was that it's some form of protection for the plant against something.

And also if there is a specific hashtag to use let me know.

Any help identifying this mystery shrub that maybe volunteered in my garden? Apple’s plant ID has called it everything from nightshade to buttonbush. It’s quite large, perhaps 8 feet tall by 10 feet wide, but not bushy. And for scale, that biggest leaf is about 10 inches long. Zone 7A

UPDATE: Giant ragweed, which can get 16' tall. Not what I want in my basil planter.

Plant folks, what is this volunteer growing in one of my planters? #PlantID #WhatIsThis #plants

I call this stuff "sawgrass" because it's extremely sharp. You can walk past it, not even realize you brushed up on it, and then discover your legs are covered in long cuts.

It has red rhizomes (because it drinks your blood, I'm sure). I've never seen it flower. It grows in shallow soil and disturbed areas. These are in a tropical wet climate on Hawai'i Island.

Do you know what plant this is?

Lovely Peeps, I have ZERO KNOWLEDGE of this video game, but it seems something Mastodon #gaming folk might like.

Hear the caution & proceed at your own risk! 😄

Described as a slow-paced, deeply-engrossing #mystery #game, in which you play the proprietor of a local plant store, and help customers with their sometimes ... unusual ... needs..

'Find and identify new plants, pet your cat, speak to a coven, or join a cult.' (Wow, that escalated quickly!) 'Use your collection of powerful plants to influence the story and unravel Undermere’s dark mysteries' ... that go back centuries ...

Again, I know *nothing* about the game, but I thought if anyone would love it, it would be the folks here. 😊

I took a cutting of the Japonica plant. I also took a cutting & 2 seed heads from this plant - Veronica pinguifolia - which is native to NZ but popular with landscapers here on Vancouver Island. It produces multiple, gorgeous, small white flowers in Summer. Their seed heads are pretty too.

#Cotoneaster #berries. They're similar to firethorn plants but are thornless with serated leaf margins. Their flowers & fruits are toxic for humans but have excellent #WildlifeValue.
These are #larval food plants for several insects. Their flowers attract many #pollinators. Their fruits are eaten by multiple birds - blackbirds especially love eating these berries in Winter.
It's been cultivated by landscapers for wildlife value & soil erosion prevention. It's grown in many public & private areas around here - I see it almost everywhere. Birds have spread their seeds afar.

I don't know which variety of cotoneaster this is - there are a lot of varieties.

Spotted at Burnside Medical Clinic parking lot.

I took these #cuttings in late summer, but unfortunately did not note what they were from. I would guess they are #Crataegus, but I am surprised by the size of the leaves and the absence of thorns. Something from the edge of the forest/wild hedges, eastern France. Native species are C. monogyna, C. laevigata, C. rhipidophylla etc.

Can it be a crataegus? (More in alt texts. I don't need the exact species because of hybridisations.)

I can't get a plant identifier to get even close to IDing this plant with the yellow flower and spiky leaves. It showed up this year in my wildflower patch; it's the only one. The subsequent blooms have been yellow, but with orange in the center. Probably a weed, but one person's weed is another person's flower.

The #seedpods #catkins on #SilkTassel bush look like long dangling earrings, from afar.
Garrya elliptica, the coast silk-tassel or silk tassel bush. It's native to coastal Oregon & California. Many WA & BC landscapers use it for their gardens work - especially as a windbreaker bush.

Galium glaucum, das Blaugrüne Labkraut, ist in Mitteleuropa eher selten anzutreffen. Sein Verbreitungsgebiet sind trockenwarme Standorte im südlichen Europa. Umso schöner ist es, die Inselvorkommen in Thüringen zu kennen und Euch diese zarte Schönheit zumindest im Bild zeigen zu können.

Ok, Massachusetts types, what is this plant and is it native? It is EATING my front yard and I don’t mind pulling it from the raised beds but if it’s native/useful I’ll let it hang out in the other areas.

Plant people: what the hell is this thing? It was 6’ tall when we thought we had fully killed it and dug it out, but a month later it had burst through the landscape fabric and grew as tall and as willful as a middle schooler, and is continuing to do so.

The stalk is tinted red, it has big leaves and little white flowering bells

Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum) forms large colonies in woodlands and adapts well to gardens. Its flowers range from white to purple, and early-season leaves show pale spots—like water stains, which fade over time.

The Seek app insists that this is an insect. It clearly is not.
Can anyone ID this nascent bush? We've not planted it so we suspect it has come with visiting birds.

Happy to provide more photos/info if needed.
