Ahh that's right, it was in Texas. It's the yellow fuzzy one haha. I was in an area with tons of thorny things and was already scratched up enough, didn't want to make myself bleed anymore than need be! I also have a bad habit of finding nettle, that's not much fun. Thanks for the help!
I saw the Texas unidentified plant (didn't see a south african one) and passed it on to a Texas Landscape Architect friend, possibly he may identify. Too bad you didn't touch, smell or taste it. Helps to ID. Maybe not so much on the tasting.
That's great! I only have one unidentified plant spotting, but it's from South Africa. If I find more I need help with I may try for your help :)
I was a TA at Ohio State in plant identification for a number of years and just have a knack for learning plants and remembering them
Thanks again @AshleyT. Although I may seem to lean on others for ID at times, I'm at my best on plants.
