Now that is a curious looking flower.  I'll have nightmares tonight about picking up beanpods and being covered with big old caterpillars :D

your supposed to turn him inside out on the hook noble. :D That'll give you nightmares.  

I saw one of those trees today but it didn't have any leave on it so I couldn't identify it. ;D  Just a bunch of worms and leaf veins on twigs. ??? :)

I wanted to say that Huck Finn might have planted that thing but his namesake wouldn't have been a tree, but rather a bush.

I've studied and studied this. :-/

I'm not familiar with the flowers but have found some that look similar.  The leaves don't look familiar at all..............then.....

I noticed that the one on the bottom had the beginning of lobes.  Along with the hint about tea from roots, I think I know what it must be.  Is it Sassafras? Are the other leaves just imature? Am I right?  Huh? Huh?
