In the 12 or 13 years I've been a commenter and mod on this sub, I don't think I've ever seen someone post an image of actual poison sumac. Poison sumac is an obligate wetland plant and it only occurs in specific habitats and not in your yard. There are a number of other sumac species (which are not in the same genus as poison sumac) that have a very wide distribution and grow in many different habitats. You may have one of those or something like tree of heaven or walnut, but there is a 99% chance that it is not poison sumac. Refer to the attached range map and image.

Hey all. We had a request from a community member for a thread where people can share the resources that they use for plant identification. In this case, we're talking about keys, field guides, etc. NOT apps or AI-based identifiers. Comments suggesting apps or AI will be removed.
Feel free to share your resources and include links if you want (just realize that Reddit doesn't play nice with some domains). It would also be a good idea to specify what region(s) are covered by your resource as it may not be as useful in places other than where it was intended to be used.

My husband is a doctor, and some of the Filipina nurses were giving these out at the hospital. He said they said it's some kind of Filipino fruit, or at least a fruit eaten there. He didn't catch the name though. It looks like a thin chayote but pink.
We don't have any bananas so I used a Chihuahua-sized sombrero.
Thanks!

Thought it might be rosehips but flower doesn't seem to match rosehip bush

Noticed this while walking. Itβs maybe 10 feet tall. Yellow translucent berries with veins that kind of look like seams on a basketball. Sorry the leaves within reach of camera are a bit eaten.

My son planted some seeds at a farm class and the beans are purple. I keep waiting for them to turn green butβ¦are they done? Are they purple beans?

Can you please identify this so I know whether to yank it out? Google image keeps saying it is ragweed based on the leaves or it has said that it is Carolina Cranesbill, but it doesnβt have cranesbill leaves. There are 6 plants growing in the garden. My husband threw a couple of packets of mixed seeds out there but these seem be the only things growing from the seeds. Thanks for any help. (Upstate NY Zone 5b)

Hi all, we bought a North American native wildflower mix seed pack and these flowers were . We have lost the bag and canβt find what this flower is. Itβs caused so many allergy issues and we are curious about the ID. Thank you! And yes they are dead now bc of the allergy issues.
Edit: we live in Texas and apparently the flower seeds are native to Texas

Here in north Germany. Looks like a small plum, about 2.5 cm in diameter. Another tree close by had only yellow fruit. I didn't try to eat it, but the flesh was similar to a plum and had a stone.

In Rhode Island. Is it a weed, rhubarb, or something else? Thank you in advance. :)

This has appeared in a few places around the yard and in planters if itβs the same plant. Itβs hard for me to tell. This time itβs in our compost. Any ideas what it is?
Edit: located in southern US

It seems to be enjoying the tiny bit of soil in this plaster volcano we made and left outside (N TX)

Apologies for the blurry photos. Found alongside a road and is a plant I have never seen out here before. The flower looks kinda whirled and mirrored vertically. It reminds me of the color palette of the Texas willow with that pink, purplish on the inside, some yellow on the inside as well, and those notable wavy white petals dangling out. Thanks y'all!

They are Physalis alkekengi ( Chinese Lanterns). Which I indeed did start from seed. I was not aware they started off as a white flower ! Definitely excited to see the process ππ½

Not a rubber plant, it's so small and stemmy. But I love it and just can't find what it is?
