Okay, most of these plants are slated for destruction. They would have been sprayed with herbicide this weekend if not for the fact that my uncle ended up having to work. If I find that they are useful, then perhaps I can help control them that way! Unfortunately, I don't seem to be much good at identifying them. I think I know what a couple are, but the others have eluded me. Can anybody tell me what some of these are, or point me in some direction?
PLANT 1: Identified -- Maidenhair Fern -- Adiantum capillus-veneris -- SAFE :bouncy: :
PLANT 2: Some sort of vine with tendrils, new growth:
Same vine, leaf detail:
Same vine, seed pods:
PLANT 3: Large bush or small tree:
Same bush:
Same thing, different specimen:
Infestation of bush by woolly aphids:
PLANT 4: Identified -- American Elm -- Ulmus americana -- SAFE :bouncy: :
Leaf detail:
PLANT 5: Some sort of bramble. I think it produces edible berries, if I recall correctly:
PLANT 6: Identified -- Sweet autumn clematis -- Clematis terniflora -- TOXIC:
Detail:
PLANT 7: Another prolific vine that has ivy-like leaves:
Detail of flowers and berries:
PLANT 8: Getting confused. Is this the same kind of vine? I think it is, and then I think it isn't. And there are too many bees around for me to get too brave in collecting samples to compare:
More:
And more:
PLANT 9: Some kind of Morning Glory -- TOXIC:
Different leaf shapes:
PLANT 10: Vine invading from neighbor's yard:
PLANT 11: Trumpet vine -- Campsis radicans -- TOXIC:
PLANT 12: Identified -- Japanese climbing fern -- Lygodium japonicum -- toxicity unknown:
PLANT 13: Yet another vine that appears to twine with no tendrils, largely with the previous vine:
Mingled with the bushes under the vines, is plenty of poison ivy. :evil: Obviously, I'm not gonna try feeding that to the buns! :x
It doesn't help that many of the vines are tied up in each other. Are these the same vine, with different leaf shapes? Do these berries go with those leaves? Without putting a good bit of effort into pulling some down to unwind, it was hard to tell.
