Ravenna Park, Seattle 5/23

Stood a couple feet tall, almost a purplish brown bark that was smooth, with alternating branches that had sharp leaves that were not flat with about seven points. The leaves were very waxy and shiny, with a thick cuticle. Some of the leaves were reddish, while most of them were green. The leaves exhibited opposite branching.

A plant that was in this case about 4 feet tall, with a stalk completely covered in spikes, topped off by multiple large, light green leaves. At the top of some of the leaves an upward flowering structure with multiple budding white flowers stood.

A plant very low to the ground, it had small, yellowish flowers coming off of the main stalk in an alternating fashion. Around where the flowers start there are two, almost heart shaped leaves with serrated edges that occur staggered on the stalk. Some of the flowers on the tip of the plant were still budding and green.

A fern standing about two feet off the ground, exhibiting opposite branching with leaves that tapered off in length near the end with slightly serrated edges. The undersides had no visible spores or spores that you could feel. The fern was somewhat soft.

A large shrub or perhaps small tree that had a woody base and large leaves in groups of five or seven that have serrated edges and a sharp point at the end. Sort of oval shaped with very straight veins coming off of the main one. I have seen other trees with these distinctive leaves, so I assume that this is just a young one.

A large fungi on the side of a tree. The top of it was a dusty brown, and it appeared to have layers, or sort of folds as it slanted down to form an overhang, with the under side of it being completely white.

A plant that grew upwards and sideways and stayed relatively low to the ground, it had large oval leaves with three very well defined grooves going vertically down the leaves. The leaves were alternately branched, ending in a flower structure that was budding, with white flowers starting to emerge.

An oval leaf with an indent where the leaf attaches to the stem, this was very prevalent on the ground near the stream. Some had a flower structure emerging from the stalk above the leaf, but it was very small buds on a stalk that extended maybe three inches above.

Very large, broad, green, oval shaped leaves extending from the same base area right next to a stream. No flowers present, but the yellow central structure was visible in some of the plants, although it was somewhat hidden and in multiple it was broken and on the ground lying right next to the plant.

A large shrub lining the paths of Ravenna park, this plant showed visible thorns, and was beginning to fruit, with no flowers present. The fruits resembled raspberries in shape, but most of them were whitish yellow, with a couple light orange ones. The leaves were compound leaflets in threes stemming from where the berries came off of the branches.

A plant standing about a foot off of the ground. It had leaves in pairs of two that came off of opposite sides of the main stalk. The entire plant was fuzzy, and felt like to the touch. Somewhat resembled deer-tongue. No flowers to be seen.
