Help with plant identification?

[jonathanhateley]

Hi There,
I am coming to the end of a 1 year long sculpture project about nature, and this site and members have helped many times with identifying plants I have come across. I wondered if anyone can help with these last few obstacles which have been sculpted but need writing about on my blog, but I first need to identify. Some I am sure are fairly common place and some I have an idea of which needs confirming and some, which were actually in public gardens are really difficult. I know one is a fungi, but thought I would put here anyway.

Hope you can help,

Jonathan

1 Teasel rosettes
2 maybe a Fucus sp?
3 looks like one of the Cucurbitaceae
4 Black Bryony berries
5 Hosta cultivar
6 Salvia species
7 Pokeweed, Phytolacca acinos
8 looks more like closely related Coralberry
9 perhaps Marasmius oreades- best check with the fungi experts on their forum here

Thank you so much aeshna5, I have googled all and I think you are right on all. I am so grateful.

Many Thanks
Jonathan

3. must be White Bryony Bryonia dioica.

I wonder if the seaweed is Sea Oak Halidrys siliquosa? The pod-like bladders don't match anything I can recall on the most common Fucus species. Sea Oak does have bladders with septa, which perhaps could end p looking like this on prolonged drying out.

Come in a bit late on this one.
2. I am quite happy doing Seaweeds but this is not one I recognise or can key-out.
3. Agree with posch, White Brony.
7. I agree with aeshna5, Pokeweed Phytolacca acinosa.
8. And again I agree Symphoricarpos sp. (there are a number of very similar species).

Thanks so much both of you. The seaweed was found on Lyme Regis beech if that helps at all, but I guess a bit of a puzzle. It was certainly why I used the image, with the ribbed nature of the pods.

Thanks again

The seaweed is obviously dessicated and dead, so it's always possible that has washed-up from distant shores.
