Q.Can You Help Me Identify a Flower?

My sister is hiking in Fahnestock State Park in upstate NY. She sent me a pic of the prettiest little white trumpet-shaped flower with light brown speckles inside. It has lance-shaped leaves that appear to be fairly large and are deep green.

I am using it as my profile avatar. I would like to know the name and find out if it will grow in my zone. This would look lovely in my garden under my hollies.

Thanks for your help,
Raighne

Q.Type of Plant I Think Is Annual

I planted a flower and vegetable garden. I planted 3 of these plants; I think they were annuals. I threw away the slip in pot when I planted them. They resemble a tomato plant and each branch has blossomed flowers on each level of the leaves. They have gotten tall and my neighbors just love them. Can you help me find out what they are, and if they are annuals or perennials? I want to plant them again next year.

Q.want to ID a wild vine i saw in a park

The wild vine looks exactly like cucumber, but no spines on leaf stems. Also has white flowers in clusters of 3, not single yellow ones.   Thank you.

Q.What plant looks like dill leaves but has small flowers?

I have a flower that grows no taller than 2 feet high, with small bell like flowers that come in purple, pink, and white. When it first started growing, I thought it was dill. It was even growing next to dill and early in the season it was hard to tell the difference. Every year I get less of these flowers, so this year I collected the seeds in hopes to get more flowers back.

Also, the hummingbirds love the flowers. So, what I want to know is what kind of flower it is and when should I plant the seeds (spring or fall)? Thanks

Q.Can You Identify a Pink and green Ivy?

I was recently at Moody Gardens in Galveston Tx. And saw a beautiful plant that I am 99% sure was an ivy of some sort. It had hot pink and green leaves that were shaped like the common houseplant ivy. No speckles or variegation, just solid color. Can someone identify this for me? I would be most appreciative. Oh, and where can I buy one?

Thanks, Tresia

Q.What Kind of Tree Is This?

My husband and I were out and about and we saw a tree (or bush) with orange berries in bunches toward the end of some of the branches. The berries remind me of the ones on a bittersweet vine. When I ask the owner about it, all they could tell me was when the birds ate the berries they acted drunk. Very curious. LOL. They were nice and let me get some of the branches that have berries. I have started to dry the berries and also wrapped the branches in wet paper towels and put them in a dark cool place. I hope you can tell me something about this tree. I hope I can get one to grow, I appreciate any information you can give me.
