Cypress Vine and Spanish Needle

#2 is Bidens alba. Young leaves are edible -- not the tastiest things, but good famine food. Butterflies love them, but they have sticky seeds that spread everywhere. My yard got infested by a neighbor's unkempt yard and I never could get rid of them.

#1 is Ipomoea quamoclit, a.k.a. cypress vine as stated above.

Thanks for the responses! Here are a few more I've run across:

Vine in my yard.

These were along a dirt road in the Ochlockonee State Park.

The blue flowering vine is a type of morning glory. The bottom picture is wisteria, Don't know the yellow one.

The cassia looks like a Senna ligustrina.

Any idea on this one?

Thanks

Mexican bush sage
(Salvia leucantha) I believe.

Yes, thanks!

One of my favorite bushes, but I want the one that is purple and white. I've found out they are cold hardy up here, so I'm determined to get one.

I know ... aren't they so pretty? The bumbelees really like them. I have two of the purple and white ones ... got them in the spring at Lowes. I was worried the constant moisture, and rain, would cause them to mold (because they only get afternoon sun), but they are doing just fine. It's nice to know they are cold hardy too. I grew them in Tampa and they always looked great, but haven't tried them here before.

I like the way the leaves look too. I honestly think these came from a seed packet because I don't remember planting anything in that spot.

Cody, they die down in the winter, so maybe that's why you didn't see it before. Sometimes they are slow to come back up.

Here are a couple new ones! Goldenrod?

Yes, the second one is a goldenrod .. there are so many ... not sure which one though.

The first is Crotalaria spectabilis I believe.

I picked up up a Mexican bush sage at lowes at the beginning of the summer, too. Like Sharon said, all the humidity and torrential rains didn't bother it. Can't say the other 4 or 5 sages I have held up as well. I ve even cut it back twice and it's still in flower! So far definitely on my list of favorites! Have tried to propagate it various ways but no luck yet. If I find it at lowes again...you can bet I will grab more!

wanna_run_faster It's easy to root Mexican bush sage in the spring. You don't even need rooting hormone. Just cut a piece about 6 inches long and stick it in 50/50 potting soil/perlite in the shade. It will wilt at first, but as it roots, it will straighten up. OR you can stick the cuttings in a glass of water and change it out every day. I never had any problem rooting it this way. Once the clump gets bigger, as it will over time, you can divide it in the winter when it dies back.

My bush is pretty big now, maybe 5' wide x 3' tall. It would have been bigger but I trimmed it back hard a couple of times. I like the size of it now so I don't want to divide. I m pretty good at propagating everything I cut back but no method has worked for the Mexican sage yet. I know things are much easier and faster in the spring but by then lowes will probably have them back in stock so I ll just grab some more then ☺️ It's the gardener in me that has to try to propagate all the cuttings and seeds etc

Any ideas as to what these are? They are neat and the bees seem to like them. They close up when wet or cold and open during the day.

Close up of the flowers.

It looks like Symphyotrichum dumosum formerly known as Aster dumosum.

Are those flowers purple? Can't tell from the pic. There is a shrub called Climbing Aster (Ampleaster carolinianus) that it might be too. If the lower stems are woody, it might be one of these, or if not, one that has been weed whacked down previously and is coming back from the base, so hasn't formed woody stems yet.

Sharon was dead on. Apparently we have a lot of it in our ditch. They are white and very small flowers. I like them and they are native!

Here's a couple more:

What kind of tree has these on it?

This was on a random tree in in the woods/side of a highway. What is it?

The first one is a wax myrtle. The second ... I don't know. Maybe a pomegranate? Hopefully someone will come along and tell us what it is.

My dad thought it was a pomegranate too. I didn't know Wax Myrtle can get that big, this is a medium sized tree. Thanks!

Cut it open and see. :) Maybe it is a pomegranate! I hope your dad and I are right. That would be nice to have a fruiting tree nearby.

Yes, my wax myrtles are about fifteen feet tall. They say they get from fifteen to twenty in height. The migrating songbirds love the berries ... especially myrtle warblers.

I don't think it's a pomegranate.

Oh wow! Well I hate to say it, but I still don't know what it is. Please someone ID it for us ... I'm dying to know!

The seeds, and cells, look similar to a loquat. I did a google image search for fruit similar to loquat. It looks kind of like a Santol (Sandoricum koetjape). Maybe you could get photos of the tree and leaves next time you're by it. I'd love to know what it is.

That is not a loquat. Loquats are fuzzy and soft, not hard. Wrong shape for a loquat.
