  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We moved into a new house this last fall. The previous owner had it pretty overgrown and we are seeing so many new plants but are still trying to identify them. Does anyone recognize these?

Does anyone know what this is? It was growing out of what appeared to be some kind of succulent. I should have taken a picture from the back of the pot so you could see the source. At any rate, it's right cool and I had never seen one.

Ain't that the truth, lol.

Over a century ago at an agricultural experimental station in England they simply let a field of wheat (several acres) go to seed. It reseeded itself the following year but with lots of weeds. Five years later they found less than a dozen stalks of wheat.

Huh, I never would have guessed that. By the sweat of his brow, I guess. Wow.

My previous Pastor and his wife came over to visit me a little while back. His wife showed me this new app that she had on her phone. She could point her phone at a plant; and it would tell her the name. It worked really well; but she had to pay a monthly fee for the service.

I just found this free online website that works kind of nicely: Pl@ntNet Identify


I did a search on the second picture you posted.

Pl@ntNet Identify

Toxicodendron diversilobum (Torr. & A. Gray) Greene Anacardiaceae

Maybe the first picture of that set?

Thanks! That's really handy. I'm almost certain it's not Western Poison Oak. It grew out of a succulent. Escheveria Elegans (Mexican Snow Ball) maybe? I just looked it up. I really can't tell, for sure. I should have taken better pictures.
