Can You Identify this?

I was assuming that was an onion.

Elephant garlic?

 

Garlic, yellow squash(crook neck), various bell peppers, Violet, Hot Cherry pepper

 

A mountain bell perenneal bulb I think is the flower? Or not...oops

 

growing up, we had a garden that had yellow squash in it. my fav though was white. my mom sliced it widthwise, breaded it, and fried it. mmmmmmm....

 

We used to do that with zuccini. This squash though we cube and steam, or cut it lengthwise and grill..oh yumm

Ya know, it just might be..a friend gave that to us and just said it was a violet, but I'm not sure they really knew

 

It's hard to see in the shot, but if the leaves lay sort of flat, cover the whole thing, and are kinda fuzzy, it's a violet.

 

Then its a violet

 

I'm heading back to the "why do we love biking" thread to even this out...

 

I just ran out of pics of local vegetation...thought I could spark a little more interest. sdyeti and bighit8 have a great grip on this stuff.....hint hint

 

Good thread.
But that's no Portuguese MOW!

See them frequently off OC.

 

Good catch! I thought it was a Man of War.
Got a pic of some vegetation we can try to identify?

 

Give me a minute to look up some of my pics.

 

Ok heres one. This grow in the field across the street from cooks corner.

 

I will be back in a little bit to see who the winner is. Gots to go buy milk!

 

Is that California thistle, Cirsium occidentale v. californicum? Or is it an import?

 

Heather Thistle?

 

Both very close, it is very similar.

It a wild form of globe---------. Something we eat.

 

Looks like artichoke

 

Artichoke then. Didn't realize the leaves were so pointed.

 

yep thats right.
