What's this Plant?
Hi everyone, The label is saying that this plant is a "Portulaca" without specifying. But the label also says to put the plant in partial shading with a humid soil. Another red flag compared to the Portulaca Umbraticola is that the label says it's highly toxic to humans when I found online that it's not. Finally, I first tried putting it on a full sunlight balcony (bright hot sun from 10am to 9pm). It become red/yellow but bloomed, now it's on a partially shaded balcony (light sun from 7am to 10pm) and it's still loosing its leaves, even more, the color is worsening as you can see. That's why I tried online identifiers and they all told me Portulaca umbraticola and that the needs were not the one I had on the label... I might be overwatering then (once every two days). Should I trust the label and let it there and continue watering? Or shouldn't I trust the label?
     
I keep seeing this video and every time I'm uncertain. I'm pretty sure that's not how normal strawberry plants look, and the fact that all of the berries are ripe at the same time is suspicious. On the other hand they look naturally connected to the plant and not stabbed into branches..
I took it over from a former colleague in the office and am now looking after it. Google Lens and apps like Pl@ntNet have suggested Ponytail Palm or Pandanus (but I think they only have similarities and are not exactly this plant). Does anyone recognize this plant?
Found this growing in front of someone's house, beautiful flowers but no idea what tree.

Any ideas? Google lens results weren't helpful.
Thinking elm, zelkova, or hawthorn.
Can anyone help me identify these cluster flowers that started growing in my garden? My partner and I are not certain what they are or how they got here, but they’re quite pretty. We are in climate zone 10 according to the 2023 plant hardiness zone map.
Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year
A neighbor I was close with recently died and their family asked if I would take the plants, of course I said yes, but 2 of them I know very little about. I think they might be the same plant at different life stages? Can anyone help me ID these?  
Please ID. This plant has been emerging every season in my garden. It typically grows as a low lying herbaceous annual to 30cm high and 60cm wide. Thank you
I think it is an Alocasia amazonica ‘Ivory Coast’? Or an Alocasia Longiloba/Lowii Pink Dragon?
This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don't know where it came from. Pacific northwest (Vancouver)
These were sold to me as _Senegalia roemeriana_, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?
Country: The Netherlands   If it is indeed Chamomile I'd like to harvest some of it for making a few teas. I also don't want to ruin the fun for others and I want to contribute to more of it growing in that area next year. So if anyone has some tips on responsible harvesting chamomile from a public space, I'd love to hear them. It doesn't look to me like it was put there on purpose, as it is growing in by a small park but between many other bushes. Also, I just read that harvesting a flower from a public space is technically theft or poaching according to Dutch law ([Art. 314](https://beveiliging.rv-webdesign.nl/WetboekvanStrafrecht/313-316.html)). If the Royal Family owns the land it would be a felony according to someone in [Quora](https://www.quora.com/Is-it-against-the-law-to-pick-fruit-in-parks-in-The-Netherlands), but I could not source that. However, it appears that responsible harvesting small amounts for own use is tolerated in practice if one is not abusing 😅 EDIT: Found a good video about harvesting Chamomile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci1vPMh2fVM
Country: The Netherlands And... can I use them to make a herbal tea? They smell nice.
Country: Netherlands Another image farther away:  August appears to be great for flowers. I have been walking around smelling and photographing plants that I think might be good candidates for brewing herbal infusions, so now I need to figure out which ones might actually be good for that.
Country: The Netherlands Bonus fly that looks like a bee: 
There were a few of these plants next to each other, but not all of them had this bright purple coloration. I suppose there might be an acidic spot by the roots, but I'm not sure.
I think it's a vascular plant but I don't want to jump to conclusions
Gifted by my aunt in Spain, they both came in water. The only thing I know is the one in the left is some sort of Agave and the one in the right seems like a rootless cutting. Thanks in advance for your time
It was growing in full sun with no maintenance so basically a weed. Any help with identification would help.
Does anyone know what type of grass, or weed this is? Hoping is it’s a grass that can be replanted; it has a cool look.
Not 100% in this one. I live in WV, USA. I want a second opinion, since the leaves on this are larger than what my PlantNet shows it is. I wont say what so no bias. It popped up and isn't a native.
This small tree has been growing in the edge of my property for a long time, at first I thought it was a young loquat. The fruit is about the size of a large cherry
