Can you get closer to get a close-up photo of the leaves, please?
One growing in a suburban garden near me in northeast England (at least 30-40 years old), so it is hardier than W J Bean thought (that page on TSO...
Yes, you have Cupressus funebris there. And yes, it is Cupressus (cones mature in 16-24 months), not Chamaecyparis (cones mature in 6-8 months) -...
Fungus gnats thrive in wet soil - there's a good chance that if you have them, your plant is also being overwatered. Which is worse than anything...
Medlar is now Crataegus germanica; it proved to be nested within the hawthorns in genetic studies....
Thanks! They look genuine enough, though a bit etiolated (i.e., they'd prefer more sunlight).
That's not been my experience, as long as you exclude obvious unpollinated (undeveloped) seeds - the small individual in the link photo in the...
Thanks! Not sure what those are, but they're definitely not pine seeds of any species! Pine seeds are perfectly oval, without any of the "lumpy"...
Can you remember the sizes of them? Wondering if perhaps the two sizes could have actually been two different species? But note I was referring to...
I'd be inclined to discard all the small cones, under about 3.5 or 4 cm long, it's not likely you'll get any viable seed from them.
Different venation (broader veins, in particular) in the original, and pubescent (glabrous in the original); also this is a very unlikely species...
Doesn't say anything about the cupule husks, unfortunately! The only use I've heard of them is for natural material based artworks, small models...
For me, it was the long slender calyx (usually shorter and broader in Silene) and the long slender leaves too.
Pics are not very clear, but looks to me more like a Dianthus species?
Agree with European Rowan, a very typical seedling. S. americana has slenderer and less deeply toothed leaflets.
