What a gas!

I'll let the experts figure out those anthers..

Colocasia (Elephant Ears)

Canna leaf

Coleus

Sandyslopes. My post was a clue to the anthers.

the mystery one.. looks like autumn clematis .... the latin name of which is escaping me.. before more coffee ....

for me the pic only shows after i click on it ...

I'm guessing floral_uk might mean that the anthers belong to gas plant (Dictamnus albus). Am I right?.

Thank you tj, I look forward to this every year now. What a wonderful start tj & sandyslopes.

I was going to say I think you have to be careful around the mystery ID....unless audry and I are mistaken.

Yes, Dictamnus albus.

Yes, Floral knew right away and, knowing her, I doubt she needed the nitrous oxide hint.

The uncropped pic...

Oh, funny! I thought tj was saying he might be a little loopy because of what I thought may have been a dental issue taken care of earlier in the day, lol!

I've heard of gas plant, but I don't have one. Nice anthers!

Keep those great pix coming and I hope more join in.

A couple more...

Euonymus alatus, Burning Bush (not invasive in my area)

Thankfully djacobs & Sweet _Betsy have joined in with wonderful pics!

@sweet_betsy - what kind of caterpillars are those? Are they tetrio sphinx, and are they common at your location? What are they eating?

These caterpillars appeared in my garden last summer. I think they are these -spanish moth caterpillars. They were only on my crinums and that seems to fit the description given at the link since crinums are a member of the amaryllidaceae.

Anyone feeling anther envy?

Hmmmmm, envy? Not sure. But sandyslopes thanks for the welcome here! I find it interesting! And beautiful!

Lol djacobs you are most welcome for the welcome! I thought your pics were super!

sweet_betsy - thanks for the ID; not one that we see around here.

Centennial Blush magnolia and Sorbus alnifolia

Sorry peren.all, I thought sandyslopes was the welcomer!

Even if I didn't say it, I was thinking it! Welcome! :-) I enjoy this thread because it gets me to look a little closer at all these patterns nature brings us.

I knew you would be welcoming too! I like this thread for the same reason. But this is my first year at it so I will take a closer look for this years garden. I also have a “Burning Bush.” Does not get as vibrant. But my neighbors have a tree version, planted way back before they were ruled invasive as a tree. The bushes are not considered invasive. When I had an arborit’s to do some work, he said it was the biggest one he’d ever seen. Let me see if I can find a pic.

Here’s one that show the size but not full color.

That is big in tree form! Too bad they're invasive in so many places. I thought my shrub was big at 6 ft. but nowhere near the size of that tree!

love the bark detail on this Acer triflorum

Last season's Solidago canadensis in my snowy location.
