These do not grow at my place but where I'm helping with landscape issues. Like this Yankee transplant has a clue.

I tasted those orange pellets. They were kinda citrusy but too sweet. And I'm still alive. Toss or keep?

Little purple berries on these that I didn't not taste. Should I have done so? Toss or keep?

Interesting leaves--do these bloom? Toss or keep?

Palms I picked up on the side of the road. What are they? Nurture or keep?

The one with the interesting leaves is wild coffee Psychotria nervosa. Small white flowers which turn into red berries. I think the plant with the orange looking fruit might be pitomba

The palm looks like Areca and the vine could be some species of Passiflora

I would be very careful tasting unknown things in the tropics. Lotsa stuff here that can kill you. DO NOT eat red beans with black on them... If there is an ugly mushroom growing on a manure pile, sit down before you eat them and don't plan anything for the next ten hours... :D

I love mushrooms but definitely leave those alone; sorry you learned the hard way. :ha:

The one on top is bittersweet, although I am not certain of the origin. Rip that $h!t out of there before it takes everything over! I've been battling Oriental bittersweet in my yard for years. There are places where it is a violation of local law to let it grow; it's THAT invasive.
