I have some plants that
grow in our yard. I have no idea what they are. Some are trees.
Some are more like bushes. Others are "wild" or "volunteer" berries of some
sort. (Are there this many
varieties of "wild" strawberry?)
Click on a small
picture in order to see a large version.
Anyway, if you could help me
identify these, it would be most appreciated. Please see also our page, "Photos
of Our June 2005 Texas Trip" in order to view some photos of these or other
plants we want identified. Thanks!

Is This "Chinese Elm Tree"?
I know that what we call, "Chinese Elm", is not from China at all. If I remember what I read in my tree book, it originated in somewhere like Japan. Now, according to Wikipedia, they are originating in China. My grandfather said they planted it in West Texas during the Great Depression. He didn't like trees because they got in his way. So, he didn't care much for the Chinese Elm. |

Sample Of Plant That Grows Beside Our House
This one is very nice. I would like to know what it is. It gets a white flower on it. And then it gets these very shiny black or dark brown seeds on it. The shiny parts come off it if you rub the seeds between your fingers.

Samples Of Some Unknown Tree Growing In Our Yard
Do you know what this is? Is it a nut tree? If it is a nut tree this means the squirrels probably planted it. |

This is a "wild" rosebush we got from "up north" on the 40 acres. Do you happen to know anything about it.
We are looking for the name and other info. on it. |
|
|
|
This is a rose that was bought somewhere. It could have been given to my husbands grandparents.
We do not know anything about this rose either. |
|
|
|
Same rose bush as before. I think there used to be a yellow or whit rose here very early when they lived here.
I hope to find the old photo and put it on here. Look for photos of our house. |

We have a digital camera now. I will be putting on here
more plants I would like to know about.
Here are some pictures of this plant that seems to grow "wild" in the back
yard behind the garage. It is somewhat shady back there. I see a
similar plant in the neighborhood. The one in the neighborhood is a hosta
looking plant with green striped leaves. The flowers look similar to these
only larger. The plant I am wanting identified, has a very small flower.
The plant could be in the hosta family maybe? The leaves are similar to a
point. I don't know if this is a wild plant. I don't remember
planting it. But that doesn't mean anything. I could have planted it
and forgotten about it. If I didn't plant it---and I suspect that I
didn't, then I don't know how it came to grow in this spot. It isn't too
bad looking so, I keep Douglas from mowing over it. I hope it isn't
poisonous ---or that I have to pull it up for some other such reason. I tried to
give you some idea of the flower and stem by drawing it the best I could in
"Paint". The leaf drawing isn't much better. It is the best I could do
though.
See below the drawings for photos of the plant and flower. Hope you can
see it amongst the weeds and grass.
