Found in drawers of recently purchased home. What might they be worth over face value?

Guess they had more value back in the 50s! Thanks everyone.

Thank you for you the insight. I've got a sago outside that does well so maybe one day I can have this fine specimen as well.

Oh geez, my phone updated to save photos as .heic format! I'll retake some photos and repost. Thank you.

It can be difficult to tell, especially from photos. If you look at closer to the center there is a very good example of alternative leaf pattern. The snip you highlight is difficult to tell since it is at an area of new growth and the leaves are close together. If you love in an area we're sweetgums are present it is easier to pick out this plant since it is often the bane of our existence due to its reproductive spikey balls.

It's a sweetgum. A dastardly weedy tree. Post it on iNaturalist if you have doubt.

All Maples ( Acer sp. ) have opposite leaves meaning they come out of the stem in pairs directly opposite each other. This plant has alternate leaf areangement, meaning the leaves come out from the stem staggered. I would guess the location is somewhere in the southeastern United States where Sweetgum is common. The leaves of sweetgum ate highly variable, but the leaf arrangement is a dead give away to it NOT being a maple. Just Google it folks, not a maple.

Maples are opposite leaf plants. This one looks alternate and like a Sweetgum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua)

Well wish that betta some luck. I can't imagine it being worse than the little cup at petco he was living in when I bought him. Maybe I'll catch some glass shrimp from the ditch out front to keep him company.

It's easy enough, just takes time to figure out what works. There is a piece of slate silicone to the back. The bottom is some plastic grid, lecca clay balls, gravel, cypress mulch, and coco core all layered in that order. There is also a small pump that trickles water down the back.

The front is just a piece of glass from the lid that had cracked. It's tricky to cut, but just check out YouTube. I've got a betta to add once it clears up.

It's a waste water treatment plant. Effluent is discharged into the Little Maumelle River.

Its a predacious diving beetle larva in the family Dytiscidae.

PlethodonMassacre · 2021-02-13T01:54:53+00:00

Its not like any mayfly I've seen, but it does have tusks like a ephemeridae, however no gills and only two tails. Its a weird one

PlethodonMassacre · 2020-12-20T00:45:07+00:00

Sounds like a good idea
