Do you want to play a game? pt 2

Not a Viburnum.

This plant has compound foliage.

Lamb's Ear

That would be one impressive Stachys...are there native woody trees of that in NJ?

I can show more parts of the same image, if that isn't cheating.

lilac or laurel

So far it's doing well, vv.

Witch hazel??

No to lilac, laurel, and witch hazel.

Summary clues:

**native North American plant
**woody plant
**compound foliage
**tree (big, canopy, forest)

Here's another part of the image...

wow good one!!!

I think you will all want one, at the end of this...

Horsechestnut - Aesculus??

Yay! A nut tree guess!

But not Aesculus/buckeye/horsechestnut...

Getting warmer, I guess...

No time to start in on climate change...

Not American Chestnut??

BY the way, vv, did you know that the best disease-free stand of American Elm is in and near Central Park?? (Learned that yesterday on a tour.)

A tulip tree?

Black walnut?

Magnolia virginiana?

LOL...I read that wrong, sorry, I thought it said "not" a woody plant....LOL


Beech

OK - I'll write it once more: compound foliage!

So - no to Chestnut, Tuliptree, Sweetbay Magnolia, and Beech.

It is a nut tree, but not Black Walnut.

Come tomorrow morning, I'm posting whole images. And that's a threat...

BEECH!

I resemble that remark - being a simple KY boy...

^_^

Flowering almond tree?

Pecan

Right genus!

Hickory!

chicory

sad that I had to read the comments twice... coffee not working yet

probably something simple like an Apple Tree

aha - Dogwood !!!!

Yes yes yes, to Celeste!

This is the intricate emerging foliage from the spectacular bud of Carya laciniosa, Shellbark Hickory.

It was pretty much pure luck to see this plant on a nice late April spring day in Shawnee Park, starting to leaf out despite being mostly swallowed by Japanese Honeysuckle. The colors/textures of the bud scale as it expands and opens rivals many flowers. Some of these images still seem unreal to me.

The first picture is the one I cropped from; the rest are just hyperbole.

OH, thats stunning!!

Ok here goes, an easy one. :)

MG

tunia!!!!

Beautiful, vv!

No and no

DL

Nope not a daylily

last time I play and try to think Iris

geranium?
