    i have no clue what these are, they all were found on or around this certin tree.
    The first one is some sort of wild flower.
    the second is some sort of berry i would like to know what it is an if it can be eaten.
    the third and forth are the same flower it kinda looks like one of those catus flowers but this wasn't on a catus an its not a dessert here in oklahoma and it feels like a catus flower too its very pickly the bud, stem, and leaves are pickly and act like catus thorns

    Thistle has a white lower leaf surface, blooms this time of year, some websites list it in Oklahoma, might be field thistle, Cirsium discolor

    2 is definitely pokeweed. don't let the berries fall or you'll have a ton more plants next year. and yes, it's poisonous, so don't eat the berries!

    3 i don't think is thistle...there are quite a few types though. does it have any thorns/stickers on it? if so, then it is a type of thistle. if it is, deadhead before the seeds form - they produce hundreds from one flower and they germinate almost instantly...so, nip it in the bud, asap!! (and i guess that's where the expression came from...getting rid of the buds before the seeds form...)

    thanks but these plants aren't near me they are in a big field 3 streets away from mine and its too late to nip them in the bud because 70% of those already started spreading the seeds around and yes they have thorns all over exept on the purple part
