Re: I can’t identify this plant can you?
It is a voodoo but also looks very much like the anterium (little boy) plant. If it were an antherium the inside pointer(?), would have some little bumps on it and as it gets old they shed off onto the leaves. It could be one of its' relatives that grow more here than in the troplical areas.

I just saw one outside the local Hardee's and they said it was a purple lisanthias STAR plant. I asked if when they clean the area if I could get a start from it as it was so pretty.

Achimenes, yes, you can sometimes purchase these at a floral shop the neat thing is in the Southern States it will survive outdoors.
posted: 3:10 pm on August 17thFor those in the Northern half of the country it is a great house plant for like your 4 season room or a sunny room that like to have plant grow really BIG.
Re: What is this plant?
If it is in the foxglove family and the digitalis line I would suggest removing it from your green space and placing in the garbage. To incinerate would cause the fumes to carry and I have been told that this could be very dangerous inhaling these fumes especially if you have a heart condition. Treat like if it were a combination of poison ivy, oak and sumac all in one.

Re: Help!
I agreed. I had some of those that I used to decorate with and they called them ornamental gourds. One of our seed and weed eating friends said they are most delish. She said the seeds are very nutty tasting and if you back them with canola oil, fresh ground ginger and garlic and sprinkle at the end of baking with a hint of honey you will be thrilled.

Re: Unknown shade forest plant
Looks like a caladium or a dwarf elephant ear.

It has the look of the Gerber Daisy. Does it grow wild? If so then it isn't a gerber unless some squirrels or grond hogs were busy.

this looks like Mulberry or wild Blackberry. Usually grow wild in woods or years ago cities would plant them along fences to cover the fence and hide highways or alleys.
