Does Anyone Know What This Is??

Oh please, oh please. There are a number of them...but, what are they?

I have absolutely no clue! Did you plant them from seed or dig them from your garden?

Is it some type of senna? Looks like some I have in my yard.

I am watching and hoping you will get an answer. I have a row of these under the power line so am sure it was a bird delivery. Want to know if I should mow them and grow them. It does favor the Sennas.

Can be a Candlestick tree....lol...

It could be something I planted..or a volunteer, from a bird...at first I thought it was a baby rose...then a Mimosa.....I plant seeds and wait 10 minutes for them to come up, and when they don't...I recycle the soil. (as a result, I have Cork Screw Vine in a lot of pots)

I agree with Moodene, it's a candlestick tree. I saw a while back someone on here was offering free seeds, maybe you got it from them? Other possibility is Mimosa, but the lieaves look too big. Of course, it's hard to get a sense of scale from pics, so maybe.

It isn't Mimosa, I have some of them to compare it with...I didn't get any Candlestick seeds but I think I have a Tree in front..I have whacked it a couple of times and it seems to like that, it looks very healthy. I will get more pictures...
Thanks everyone.

The leaves look as if it could be a Pride of Barbados. The birds do get the seeds and so forth.

Now I did get seeds of that, from Trois, at the round up, in Arlington...I have lost track of the seeds, so maybe I planted them? Hmmm...

it's a weed around here ;)

I agree, I think Moodene is correct. I went out and looked at mine and they sure do look alike.
You surely will know if it blooms.

My candlestick tree seedlings have fewer and smaller leaves.
I do have something that looks just like that though and Debbie is right its a very invasive weed.

Mine is definitely different from my Pride of Barbados. I'm thinking weed too.

I might give them 15 minutes, but that is the max! (I am not known, as being a very patient person, lol!)

It looks just like my Cassia alata seedlings, Melva. That's a very nice plant, indeed.

My vote is for Cassia/Senna bicapsularis, Winter Cassia. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1328/ Any chances on this one?

My Candlestick trees, Cassia/Senna alata, look like Carla's. They look like they have fewer but larger leaves than the first pic. The leaves look too big at that size to me to be a Pride of Barbados or Bird of Paradise. I could see them being larger if it were older. ?

Just thought I'd be different and make a guess too.

...just thought I'd add that whatever it is, I'll take seeds from it. :)

How about a small plant?

Melva ~ are you offering her your plant? LOL

Not the plant, but one of them..there are a number of them coming up, in various pots...

After looking more closely at the leaves, I am in agreement with Paige.

Oh, do I win?! I guess my prize is a plant? :) I'd love one and would be happy to send you an envelope and postage for it.

I've got 2 Senna corymbosa, with smaller and thinner leaves. They are very slow growing too! I was hoping they were the Christmas one. I have 3 C.alatas too and they are slow growing too, and unfortunately only annuals here.

You are on...I should be able to send you a couple..they are in almost every pot I look at...
I am in the address exchange.
