Pict #2

A relative just gave me this one... What can of cactus is it?

Pict #5

This uninvited plant has been growing between the fence and the concrete side walk. Is it worth keeping?

Pict #6 - Last one.

I could try to make this plant look good if I knew what it is... Thanks!

1. possibly Schefflera sp. 2. may be a Euphorbia species but I don't 'do' succulents 3. are Antirrhinums and 4. is an Azalea.

PIc 6 looks like a clump of daylilies

The "cactus" is not a cactus. It's a succulent (Euphorbia trigona) that does well in bright light or shade. You can keep it on a patio with morning sun, but it will die in a freeze

5, the one growing through the fence is a ficus retusa, a tree that will grow 60'-80' in all directions with an aggressive root system. Best to pull that one.

This is what we have so far:
1. Possibly Schefflera... But I never had access to a Schefflera cutting so that isn't the one. About 6 months ago I had a few "Cup of Gold" vine cuttings, Could it be that one?
2. Euphorbia trigona
3. Antirrhinums
4. Azalea
5. Ficus Retusa
6. Possibly Daylilies???? Here is a more detailed picture of this plant after dividing, clean up, and a leaves trimming... Could this be an orchid plant?

#6 Looks like you have cymbidium orchid(s).

When I saw #1, I thought Smilax, but IDK if that's in CA.

Can you confirm if the first one has a leaf made up of leaflets like the spokes of an umbrella? That's what I though I was seeing. Solandra is not impossible if the leaves are NOT umbrella-like.

most of us know 3 as snapdragons ... mostly because we cant pronounce the latin .. lol ..

1 Citrus - can't tell what kind without the fruit - but definitely citrus.

mmmm - so far I think we are very hard pushed to say No 1 is 'definitely' anything. But if the leaves are palmate, as they appear, it is not Citrus.

Ken - anti - rine- um - not so hard.

Floral-uk, I found this picture of the Solandra cutting my neighbor gave me 6 months ago. I'd divided it into a few cuttings. Its bottom part match the gecko head cutting on picture #1. Cool, I think it's the Cup of Gold vine I wanted so bad.

I'm new to gardening and having you here make it a great experience... Thanks a lot, guys!

Right - now I can see that the leaves are not connected by their petioles as appears in the top picture. Solandra it is.
