I inherited this cacti from my grandparents. It is older than me.
anyone knows what type of plant this is? It's growing in my yard, in Uruguay. My mother says it's edible, but I don't know if i can trust that information. Thank you so much in advance 💚
What type of flower (dahlia?) is this?
Help! What did I grow?
This tree is in our yard and I’ve never known what it is. We actually have two. These ‘nuts’ they produce end up everywhere!!
What’s this horribly spiky plant? It had red berries which grew from its tops on the biggest ones, though I did not photograph it. Oregon.

Ordered eggplant seeds from Burpee, they grew into huge plants with spikey pods.
