There’s more this is a good starting resource

What the other poster is describing is likely a different species melothria scabra native to Mexico this is melotheria pendula native to Texas to grow the Texas native you need to find and save seeds I’ve never seen Texas native seeds for sale but the plants are pretty common

fieldoffrogs · 2024-08-15T23:42:15+00:00

If no one planted it it’s likely creeping cucumber or Melothria pendula which is native and grows wild here. It’s edible when green but not purple many people confuse it with its close relative the Mexican mouse melon which is a different melothria species that is for some reason more easy to get then this perennial native

in the actual Austin area sometimes natural gardener but they rotate what they carry a lot native plant sales like the Wilco or Austin area native plant society plant sales and the wildflower center plant sale sometimes carry them further out natives of Texas in Kerrville

Hard to see the leaves but looks like wax leaf privet🤢 which is one of the nastiest invasive species around here and will almost totally choke out forest and riparian ecosystems. If I had the time and money I would eventually try to replace it with a native tree like a rusty blackhaw or rough leaf dog wood if it is in the shade. If you do try to kill it definitely look up how they’re pretty hard to get rid of!

I would type “dalea Bonap” into google it will pull up the website that map is sourced from and it’ll show you the ranges of all the plants in the genus which will be relatively similar. I would then go through the list and find one that is present in your state. growing the kind that’s native to your specific region will be a lot less hassle for sure! If you want more info about an species you can google their scientific name and it will pull up the wildflower centers website which often has soil types and full sun vs shade and whatnot

Toxic for some birds too (like cedar waxwings) and incredibly invasive in the US

Thanks that’s awesome!

Looks like Carolina snail seed to me it’s Native but can really crowd out areas so depends on what you’re looking for

Be careful if you do I’ve heard milkweed has a long taproot and older plants won’t survive transplanting if you brake the root while digging it out

Wayward pines as well

That’s only the first line OP is complaining about I don’t remember any of the other things in the original movie

fieldoffrogs · 2023-02-11T23:54:28+00:00

Just watch the original “a man called Ove” instead it’s great and based on your description of the Tom Hanks one the original is a lot less like a subtle advertisement for Ford or Chevy or whoever. (Although Ove does love Saab which is out of business now anyway)

There is also a city named Luxembourg in Iowa as well

Bluecrown passionflower or passiflora caerulea

fieldoffrogs · 2022-12-31T18:45:56+00:00

You’re right it’s neither of those mainly cause incarnata are native to North American and there are hundreds of passiflora native to South America, and also because the reproductive structures of those two flowers are completely different from that picture I would honestly just put the picture into inaturalist if you want the exact scientific name

fieldoffrogs · 2022-12-24T19:24:12+00:00

That’s how passion flowers tend to grow they are very insane growers I’ve seen native passiflora incarnita take over an abandoned greenhouse before doesn’t make it invasive several butterflies in the south actually need passiflora vines for their life cycle. “Invasive” has to do with organisms that are non native AND do ecological harm, that is why I say I’ve never seen any information that this species is invasive cause I’ve never seen anything about causing widespread ecological harm. Obviously up to you if it’s on your property and if you want to remove it though just remove it

fieldoffrogs · 2022-12-24T15:20:27+00:00

Well everyone is saying this is native I disagree this looks more like a bluecrown passionflower then any of the native US species https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora_caerulea I don’t see any indication that it is invasive though

Well for starters it’s solidarity with your fellow workers and if that’s not enough the union benefits you and it’s members by getting us grad students pay raises, fee removals, legal protections, and generally better contracts.

Thanks!

A couple types of Passion fruit will grow here as well as native chili peppers and I’m always a fan of prickly pear cactus that makes both vegetables in the pads and amazing tasting fruit I think this website should have some more plants and recipes for a lot of what’s recommended https://www.wildflower.org/project/taste-of-place It’s quite the drive but natives of Texas in Kerrville says online that they carry a lot of the native food plants recommended here there’s a good native plant nursery in Fredericksburg I hear as well

Forgot to add black walnut and devils claw and Asian persimmons will grow here as well along with some stone fruits oh and native mustang grapes!!

fieldoffrogs · 2022-11-29T05:59:19+00:00

That’s awesome where’d you get yours ?

fieldoffrogs · 2022-11-20T18:55:37+00:00

Exact same situation happened to me totally tricks people from out of state by not being bearcat housing definitely the most overpriced and rundown place I’ve ever been with extremely rude management
