1. It’s similar to that of cannabis found in my area!

   • No, it looks like that it is Ambrosia artemisiifolia.

2. I found out that it is Ambrosia artemisiifolia, invasive species, that can become a noxious weed. But rare in our region 🙂
   Also known as American wormwood, bitterweed, blackweed, carrot weed, hay fever weed, Roman wormwood, short ragweed, stammerwort, stickweed, tassel weed.
   Its pollen is wind-dispersed, and can be a strong allergen to people with hay fever.
   Ambrosia artemisiifolia is used in phytoremediation projects remediating soil pollution, for removing heavy metals such as Lead from contaminated soil.

   • Thanks for sharing this. I like this kind of post. There are so many times when my kids ask me what the name is for a kind of plant, bird or anything, but I have totally no idea and do not know how to look for the name. I think with the knowledge of people here, we might get the answer and everyone else learned too! 🙂

3. I have never been good at distinguishing plants, but this one is lovely!

       • Oh, thank you! I think, I found it – It’s Ambrosia artemisiifolia!

         It is said that it is a widespread invasive species native to regions of the Americas. But in our region it seems to be rare…

         Interesting: Ambrosia artemisiifolia is used in phytoremediation projects remediating soil pollution, for removing heavy metals such as Lead from contaminated soil. (Wiki)

4. Very beautiful plant with a flower like a small sun, maybe it’s a yellow chamomile?

   • No, the yellow flower belongs to another pland. This plant’s bud you can see on top left on the last picture. It doesen’t look like chamomile…

5. Interesting post, I went outside and took some photos of my plants. I did think it was like the Chinese herb for skin, but I don’t think so.
   The closest it looks like is a tomato leaf but then I don’t think it is.

   Lapka, I will write a post when the photos come through and you can tell me what you think of the plants. Maybe one is close to it.

   I would like to know what it is.

   • Tomato? It reminds me more of a carrot leaf 🙂 But still is completely different…
     If you mean this your post – https://virily.com/science-nature/bless-all-who-work-in-a-garden/ – I viewed it, many interesting plants…but nothing like this one.
     Do you remember the name of that Chinese herb?

     • The Chinese woman speaks no english and didn’t give it to me when I asked her.

6. It looks like wild rocket. It makes me hungry. ?
   I doubt it’s rocket, but perhaps something close.
   If it could make flowers it would be easier. ?

   • Interesting suggestion, thank you! But I didn’t find similar plant in this family so far…
     Maybe next year I will see its flowers and take a photo 🙂

8. Sorry, I can not help you, I do not know this flower

   • It’s a pity, but thank you for reading 🙂

9. If I only see the shape of the leaf, it is like kenikir (Cosmos caudatus) in our language, or something like that because there are several types, although I am not too sure because the plants are usually tropical plants, and the leaves of your plants appear longer. The plant includes members of daisies. This flower belongs to the Asteraceae (sunflower family) which is the largest group of flowering plants. Other names of kenikir are ulam raja (Malay), and yellow ray flower (English).

   • Marigold? We had this lovely flower in our garden in previous years. And looking at these leaves I also thought about some daisy-like flower… BUT – look at the bud – it doesn’t look like a flower from this family! It might have a raceme inflorescences or something like that.

     • Oh, no, Marigold is another flower from Asteraceae family. But anyway, it can’t be this plant…

       • Yes, I do see unique flower buds that I don’t recognize, and I just guessed it through the shape of the leaves.

         • So, we’ll have to look further…

       • Do we need to hire a detective to investigate it? lol

         • Maybe 🙂 Someone who knows everithing about plants!

10. Oo… glad my post reminded you of something 🙂
    Sadly, I’m bad with plant and have no idea about this one…
    but it has interesting shape!

    • Yes, thank you very much! 🙂 Maybe someone here will help to identify this beautyful plant…
