Description
Yesterday, I went for a short hike in the arroyo that's located right behind my house. I came across this interesting looking plant. At the base of the plant I found some baseball size fruit. If anyone knows anything about this plant, I would greatly appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for viewing and comments.
ENJOY TODAY

We too saw these on our last trip down there, but have no idea what there are called! Nice collection of shots here Ray.
Yes, very nice .. whatever it is. (sorry) Never seen anything like that in Minnesota. Have a great weekend :)
RUN!!!!! You discovered the Pod People!!! Please tell me you didn't bring one of the pods home!!! ; ) Sorry I can't contribute in any useful manner, as I am botanically challenged. Looks cool though!
Ummm, no idea...must be something the pop-people dropped of before moving on to Mars. Neat shots!
LOL It looks more like a fossil to me,and an onion.Did you examine that bulb?Yeah,I'm guessing you did...Well, obviously it's some kind of bulb.Aren't I just a font of botanical knowledge!LOL.I'm envious of your blue skies!AND your climate as we get colder and colder here.Thanks for the comment btw.Have a great weekend you!(Psssst 3 fingers still takes forever,LOL!)Ha ha.-M :^)
I have a Plant with Medicine Ball Size Fruit at the Base....only difference is...it has Five Stalks...salute
hmmmm...rule of thumb...taste the fruit...if you live, it isn't poisonous. If the plant were in Connecticut right now, it'd be covered with snow!
Wow these are huge Common Mulleins (Verbascum Thapsus), look here: [http://www.nazflora.org/Verbascum_thapsus.htm] Awesome collage and shots btw !!! :)
Sorry can't help yha, but this is a nice collage of this interesting plant..Have a wonderful Friday!!
very nice collage and interesting too !
Huh??? Those are plants??? Really??? I would have guessed they to be sun-dried ostriches, lol. Look at the neck and that wee head....sure looks like an ostrich to me. Oooh Ooooh, and see? It even laid an egg. LOL. Then again...it doesnt come as a surprise that i dont know the name...i am bothanically challenged after all. Wonderful photos though, with splendid color and perfect clarity. Have a great weekend Ray. #:O)
l have a hard enough job naming plants in england without naming from foreign parts.. but reguardless mighty fine montage each one captured beautifully....:)))))) ex
They do look indeed like a plant called the common mullein. They are a very old species and have been used for a variety of purposes since at least roman times. Native americans used them for a lot of different applications also. I think they are pretty common everywhere. The only trouble is , I have never seen one with "balls" so i am not sure, lol.
Excellent collage Ray, magnificent photography too (as always). You do such wonderful work! Have an awesome weekend.
wonderfully done collage Ray!! (they are not really plants you see they are aliens !!) really cool shots!!
Fantastic collage of magnificent photographs. Very impressive plants and what a gorgeous blue sky. Excellent work!!!
I have no idea as to what genus they are but most are pointing the same direction. excellent captures
Yes, they are the "Common Mullein" or Verbascum Thapsus. It is a very interesting plant that grows into various shapes. A beautiful capture. Aloha
A very interesting plant indeed.. the first image almost looks like cackling geese. Awesome capture!
they are called ostriches plants lol hahahah no jut kidding I have no ideal what they called
Ah, Jeroen found it yet! Verbascum is clearly the genus that popped up a few weeks ago in uh... Errol's gallery as well. Many species and great to see it's worldwide spread! Gorgeous collage with many details! :)
And there you go, I think that answers your question. Nice shots, very interesting!! 8-)
A very strange and beautiful medicinal plant ! Never seen it before even if there are a lot of them everywhere in Europe too. The fruit is incredible, remind me some of the one I've seen in Thailand ! Superb collage Ray ! Hugs
Nice work...
fabulous lighted captures and details of special and interesting plants! ;o)
The third shot on the right on the top row is awesome! That blue sky as background is just stunning!!
