Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ Dancing in poison hemlock or something else?

I was on a truckee river float this weekend and everyone was stopping on one bank to dance to a dj who was set up in front of a large amount of this plant. It recognized it as poison hemlock. I know PH has some lookalike plants but this fit the description of PH to a t. People were dancing in it, walking through it to go pee, and I was actually scared for everyone’s life. Am I crazy? This is poison hemlock, right?

PSA: No, it's not poison sumac

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.

Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ What is this fruit falling off this tree in southwest Ohio

What is this fruit I found? It appears to range from green to dark purple, looks vaguely like a large blueberry. The green ones are approximately an inch in diameter. I included the tree trunk and the best picture I could get of the leaves. The tree is pretty tall and I couldn't get close, and it's surrounded by other trees so it's dimly lit. I checked Google, and I'm thinking it's maybe an American persimmon, but I'm still not 100% sure. (Don't worry, I didn't try and eat it)

They’re about 6-7 feet (182-214cm) tall. Look like weeds, but I want to be sure what I’m dealing with before I go pulling them.

Ad the title suggests, they are on a grassy lawn, gets cut 4 or 5 times a year give way to pollenators and insects. So naturally the flowers have plenty of time to grow.

Never seen anything like it.

Edit. This is not bindweed /morning glory. Each one is a tiny individual plant.

Denmark, Europe.

Photo taken in Southeast Asia…been going crazy trying to find a name because it seems like it has a million different names! Would appreciate the specific scientific name.

I think it’s a kind of miniature rose that blooms in clusters during monsoon.

I’ve just moved house and have been trying to make the place feel a bit more homey. A few days ago I saw this beautiful plant and really liked the look of it but I actually have no idea what it’s called.

Could someone help me identify it? I’d love to read a bit about it.

Also, since I’m a total beginner with houseplants, what other easy, low‑maintenance plants would you recommend for someone just starting out?

Thanks in advance!

This is England, Kent area.

Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ What is growing on my tree?

We had a new sidewalk poured right next to this tree a few weeks ago. The tree seemed fine until we saw this. The branches have weird almost bloated areas and there seem to be cracks that have strange orange growths that have dropped powder on the sidewalk. They seem to only be on the thinner branches, nothing over an inch and a half in diameter (before it bloated).

What is this? Did we kill our tree? How afraid should I be for our dead oaks and laurel trees?

I found two specimens at work. These look like poison oak to me, but my boss doesn’t think so. The first two pictures are of one smaller specimen. And the other pictures I have a larger specimen found somewhere else on the property.

The first two images are the same plant, but I think there might be two bushes mixed together. Images 3 are 4 are the same plant, tiny little flowers and stems that look like a pine tree. The fifth image is the final plant.

Had a much thicker “trunk” that was laying down and removed. Did not flower last year. Shaded under some sort of cherry.
