It's the gardener's job to choose those that will thrive in his or her climate, rather than trying to force the plants to grow where they're not well suited.

This is not a very user friendly website, the links don’t work and I can’t find a place that shows pictures of wild flowers to identify the flowers I have in my yard

Hi everyone, I am in a search for these greens around Berne NY:
Juniper, Pine, Rhododendron, Cedar, and Neem. Are those bushes and trees part of your florea?

Also Do you any nursery that would carry them? or locals would like their garden to be trimmed before Summer?

Thank you for your leads.

It might be Burr Cucumber, but without a photo I really can’t tell.

My granddaughter found a plant and we can’t identify it. I looked like a tiny watermelon with long soft prickers. It was very wet inside with 2-4 seeds. The seeds looked a lot like watermelon seeds.
