Cleaver (Galium aparine)

Very sticky, backward burrs on stems and leaves. circular arrangement of leaves. Small white flowers. Native. Mostly in shady pats of yard.

Mystery palmate vine


Distinctive serrated leaves, palmate, climbing vine. In shade. Hopefully it will flower or something. Seems like I see this stuff all over Macon.

Mystery trifoliate vine

Each leaflet has 3 lobes and 3 leaflet come in a simple trifoliate arrangement. Hoping it blooms or something.

Mystery tree with white flower clusters


Tree is about 30 feet tall, bark is smooth. Leaves are alternate, ovate? with pinnate veins and entire margins and pointy tips. Flower petals look narrower than prunus serotina, and bark doesn't seem consistent. Started flowering mid March. No fruit yet.

Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora)

 Smells beautiful when blooming. The sticky red seeds disturb me for reasons that I do not begin to understand. I always associated peaches with Georgia before I moved here, but I think I like having a magnolia better. Having a shady corner of the yard is great.

Id: Leaves simple ovate, smooth was fuzzy yellow underneath (pubescent). White flowers, pink fruit darkens, red seeds.
Native.
