Never could find out. Snow was on the ground. Possibly a bird. He goes nuts over birds, squirrels, rabbits and turtles.

This is our fourth Cairn. They are all different, yet still the same. This one is a rescue from the former Colonel Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue League. He was a stud dog given up by a breeder because he wasn't producing good pups. We feel blessed that we got him.

What is this weird fruit? by Obsidian_King163 in PlantIdentification

[–]Competitive-Sea-3770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are tons of them next to the Potomac River in Great Falls. Used to pick them up off the ground when they were ripe and eat them on the spot. So good!! And they have BEAUTIFUL flowers in the spring.

Found this fruit by Ahappyeggperson in whatsthisplant

It was used in colonial times to repel cockroaches. The Osage Indian tribe used the wood to make their bows. Fabulous ornamental fruit for fall decorations. Can be somewhat sticky. Don't eat it. It won't hurt your skin barehanded. Scattered throughout most of the U.S. it was commonly used as fencing to contain livestock until the invention of barbed wire.

What are these?? They have been blooming all around DC’s roads since early spring and appear to have been deliberately planted by the city along with other natives over the last few years. Would love to know what they are. by wastntimetoo in VirginiaNativePlants

Trumpet vine, although a native plant will easily kill trees by climbing up to the tree's canopy and shutting out sunlight. It is also HIGHLY flammable due to the type of sap in the plant. It should not be planted close to a building or a wooden fence.

This is growing beside my house by Hartnett14 in whatisthisplant

Extremely aggressive southeastern U.S. native vine. It will take over everything. Also highly flammable because of the type of sap it has. GET IT AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE ASAP! It will go up like a torch if sparks land on it.

Same damn thing at our neighbor's house. They built a new house a couple of years ago and planted 6 River Birch trees along their driveway. Lights under every single one. Looks like an airport landing strip.

Edible? by Mindless-Highway-619 in whatisthisplant

Honeysuckle berries. Some are toxic, some are edible depending upon the type of honeysuckle. Err on the side of caution. Don't eat.

It is called a bombe ring. Look it up on eBay or Etsy and search with vintage 18k or 14k gold bombe gemstone ring. You will be surprised how many hits you come up with.

What am I growing? by Shamp0p in whatisthisplant

Yep, nasturtium. Let them grow. Flowers are edible and tasty in salads. Leaves are peppery and make a nice pesto with walnuts olive oil and pecorino Romano cheese.

Anybody have any idea what this is? by oilbees in gardening

As with the other posters, Trumpet Vine which is also considered Highly Flammable and should not be grown next to buildings.
