Mullein — Verbascum thapsus

As a biennial plant, mullein has two distinct stages of growth. This is a first year example. By the second year they will have a distinct spire of yellow flowers that will eventually brown and produce seeds for the next generation.

EDIT: Peperomia Graveolens!

Need help identifying this guy too!

I study plants, tropical plants, and that means that sometimes I find weird crazy things that doesn't appear in any book. 

The tree here gives some little red fruits, that with enough humidity, open in something that looks like a flower. The fruit and the leaves are totally pubescent (which means hairy, as you can see in the first and second picture) Idk, I felt like posting my pictures here in case someone in the vast ocean of the internet has seen something similar. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take pictures of the leaves, so I can't ask for professional identification yet. Next time I go to the same place I will analyze this little friend better because I swear I have never seen anything like this.      

My guess is that this tree is from the Solanaceae family, genera Solanum, because it looks somewhat similar to Solanum quitoense. Found it at an altitude of approximately 2200 m. in an Andean cloud forest.

This is a common sight around the Basin and Range region. After a quick bit of research the following is a paraphrase of what I found. Harvester ants strip the ground of vegetation, then build their mounds in the center of the stripped area, creating vegetation free circles. Some of the seeds that the ants like to harvest have attractive glands that ants seek out. The ants then take these seeds into their chambers where they remove the glands. They then discard the seeds outside of their dens typically placing them in their “garbage dumps,” resulting in these flower rings. I would love to learn more about this, as I am fascinated with both ants and monkey flowers. I would appreciate any insight and corrections on what we researched and posted here.

Does anyone know what type of succulent this is?

I adore this Central American Piperaceae. Does anyone know who it might be? #Piperaceae #botany #plantid #plantoftheday #CostaRica #biodiversity #habitat #plant #rainforest #flowering #angiosperm #plantsofinstagram #CentralAmerica
