Citrus species, Mid-Atlantic USA

Found today. This thing has thorns everywhere and the fruits smell amazing. Like citrus, pine, and maybe a teeny bit like fresh turmeric? As you can see I cut one open and there is a lot of seeds, not as much pulp as some other citruses. What did I find?

Hi friends, keep getting different answers on search engines. Is this white sage? Yerba santa? It smelled like basil, almost like sage but maybe sweeter. Found in the San Gabriel Mountains in Socal by a running creek. No flowers on the plant either.

Seems to have this embedded root system and crops up meters apart, and just most recently shown up through the weed matting in my greenhouse. Tends to be showing up in clusters off the same root system.

Does anyone know what plant this is (the tall one)? I will definitely be quarantining for pests since it was in the trash, but I need an ID to know how best to care for this big guy to give it the best chance of survival. Thank you in advance!

I live in Florida, panhandle specifically. I have a couple plants that look like berries but are very spicy so we think they are peppers.

This plant is causing a stir in my area. Someone posted it as “autumn crocus” and is warning everyone of its toxicity to humans and dogs. Someone else commented that it is another, non toxic, variety. Thoughts? Louisville, KY

I found this potted plant by a dumpster. The leaves were fully green when I found it with some sunburn damage, but they've been yellowing over the last few days. Google Lens has been giving me different answers that range wildly. Help ID'ing this little dude would be appreciated so I can find out what care it needs.

This plant is over 50 years old, well at least thats what im told. My late mother recieved this plant as a gift for my brother being born in 1971, this plant may be propagated from the original but im 37 and have seen this thing my entire life (as far back as I can remember).

Ive been taking care of it now and in that time its starting to grow more and get fuller. I dont know if a soil change would help / hurt or what but any advice would be welcome.

Is this a Mountain Maple?

Thumbnail

Every year for the past 4 years I've gone to NC the start of October, the grow zone map says the area is 8b. I've stayed at the same exact house each time, and it has this glorious maple tree that turns the most perfect shade of fiery Halloween orange. The rest of the year its a black-ish purple, and it forms its seeds in March and they drop around May.

Last year I took one of the leaves and did some research, and was confident that its a Mountain Maple (Acer Spicatum), but this year I took some new photos to take home to help me search for one at the local nurseries and now I'm not sure anymore because suddenly I'm seeing a different kind of leaf when I look up Acer Spicatum. It shows the same shape but the edges are all toothy, not like the one I took photos of.

Anyone got any idea? Thank you very much.
