Attachment 107543......an egg of sort?Hi there,
I have been searching around since yesterday when a plant was dropped off at our door with no memo or anything to figure out what kind of plant this is. Since its now cool outside, I really need to know what kind of plant it is, and how to take care of it. It may be a plant, but I cant just let it die or throw it away!
It does have a very earthy, greenery smell to it.. my...This tropical tree has a thorny bark. Does anyone know its name? The photo was taken at Kibbutz Ein Gedi, Dead Sea, Israel.I saw a lot of these trees in Los Angeles, California. It is about 25-30 feet tall. The bark is very smooth in grey color. Is it some kind of Magnolia tree?The tree is found in Modesto located in Californian Central Valley. It is about 12 feet tall, has very smooth grey bark and leaves are oval, dark green and thick. Looks like evergreen tree.Is this Cornus alba in the southern outer area(1P02) around Amphitheatre?

To have a plant identified just *tweet a photo with the hashtag #whattheflora*
Your photo will appear on the site, and other users will be able to suggest and vote on names for the plant.
If hope it is of interest if...More... (http://blog.biodiversitylibrary.org/2012/10/halloween-biodiversity-myths-legends.html)I have a friend with a red linearilobum (labelled 'Red Pygmy') which turns yellow in the fall. To me 'Red Pygmy' has bright red colors in the fall, no yellows.
Any hints on what that cultivar could be?
GomeroThe garden is a jumble of colour now. This posting is a jumble of colours too. First two photos are views in the North Garden. Third is the Sorbus 'Joseph Rock' near the Admin building. I think I post this every week. Its colours now are really extraordinary. I'm not sure what the last photo is - it's not in focus anyway, but I liked the background.

Greenpatch supply a wide range of open-pollinated, organic seeds for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and grains, grasses and sprouts. You may have seen their seeds for sale [...]
Butternut squash is absolutely my favorite crop to grow. I use it to make risotto, which is awesome, and spaetzle, which is awesome, and butternut squash soup, which is pretty good too. It is a superfood, very healthy for you, full of antioxidants and fiber… and best of all for a gardener it has a [...]
