1. May be a tithonia - or something in the sunflower family...?

2. Bauhinia - orchid tree

3. Smooth leaves look like collisia - basket plant. Spiny leaves may be bromeliad...?

4. Looks like Barbados cherry(malphigia) - a.k.a. acerola - yum!

Can't tell which, if any of the leaves shown go with the Sunflower Family flower heads. There are tens of thousands of Sunflower Family plants so better pictures would be best.

#1 is Tithonia diversifolia, Mexican Tree Sunflower. It dies down in the winter and clumps, so you'll have a larger one in the spring. The seeds are non-viable, but it grows EXTREMELY easy from cuttings. Just stick one in the ground. It will wilt, but rapidly root and come back.

#2 is an orchid tree. If it never has seeds, and is very large, it is Bauhinia blakeana, or Hong Kong orchid. If it has seeds, it's another variety, and can be invasive, so be careful. Hong Kong orchid cuttings are hard to root, so it is propagated by air layering.

#3 is definitely Callisia and a bromeliad. Since there are so many, I don't know which one, but the spiky leaves mean it's more sun tolerant than most. I assume that since the callisia is solid green, it's in some sun, as they tend to variegate in shade. Those things on the old bromeliad flower are seeds pods, but I've never grown one from seed. They multiply rapidly from putting out pups. That old one will die, but never fear, it will put out new babies that will bloom next year.

You guys are amazing! Thank you! Some of the plants are in containers (the sunflowers). I will post more pictures if that's ok, we have 10acres worth.

It's fine to post pics. We love helping. The sunflowers need to go into the ground in the spring, if posslble. They'll die back, but they'll come back in the spring. I used to just dump a ton of leaves all around and into the clump on mine in the fall, and they never died.

Thank you! Anyone up for some more IDs? The purple berry is from the purple flower.
We also found some pods that looked like beans but the beans inside were pink and black.
Thank you!

The first one looks like night blooming jasmine. The second ... possibly mimosa tree. Don't know about 3 & 4. Hopefully someone will ID them soon.

I agree on #1 being night blooming jasmine, badly in need of a trim.

The second looks like a Jacaranda to me. The leaves are too large for a mimosa. There is also something called "yellow jacaranda," that isn't a true jacaranda, but has leaves like one. If it drops all its leaves this winter and blooms purple in the spring, you'll know.

Don't know the third one, but #4 is a datura seed pod. -- probably double purple. Were the flowers white on the inside and purple on the outside? Watch the pod. It will split when it's ready to harvest. They are annuals, but grow easily from seed.

You might try posting the 2nd & 3rd pix on the "Name That Plant" forum. They're very good w/ IDs there..

Thank you! I will try posting there too.

Me again! I can't get into the Name that Plant group from my phone so I thought I'd as here. We were walking through the woods by our house and came across a couple of these. Appears to be a bumpy lemon. Any ideas?

Is that on a tree or a vine? It looks like a citron to me..

It's on a tree but it looks different than my other lemon trees

This thread talks about a lemon tree that came up from the ‘rough
lemon’ root stock. I wonder if that’s
what occurred with yours. Check it out
and see what you think.

Yes, I was thinking rough lemon, too, sharon.

So writersblock is a rough lemon palatable? I've never come across one before. Even if it were dry inside one could use the rind for recipes.

Thank you Sharon! I actually came across that post when I looking the lemon up. The strange thing is, the lemons are in a wooded area, no other fruit trees around and I doubt they were planted. The trees are in undeveloped woods near our property.

You're welcome Kristen. :)

Maybe they are volunteers courtesy of an animal. Pretty cool to have lemons growing in the woods. I had to get mine from Lowes. I've seen lots of tangerines and orange trees in the woods, but never a lemon. Have you cut one open ... or tasted one yet?

10 acres.. :: swoon:: That's dreamy!
