Some kind of Mimosoid

I saw this on my morning walk. It’s flowering very low to the ground and I noticed that the stems have some thorny protrusions. Location is central Texas.

(UK) Wild Orchid Identification

Hi, I found this on a roadside verge in the depths of the Kent, UK, counyryside today, (specifically near Throwley Forstal. I'm not sure of the soil type but it was surrounded by bluebells, so the area was shady and possibly the soil was slightly acidic despite the local area being, (I think!), on the underlying chalk of the North Downs).

I thought it was a Common Spotted Orchid as I was familiar with these in my youth. However, on closer inspection none of the leaves had any spotting whatsoever. All were a single, unblemished, shade of green. Additionally I was sure the ones from my childhood had slight shading/patterning on the flowers. Consequently I took a photo in order to get home and look online to confirm what it was.

Although largely similar, for the reasons above, (i.e. No leaf spotting and largely mono-shading of the flowering parts), it's different to all the images of the Common Spotted Orchid that I can find.

Are any experts here able to confirm whether it's an Common Spotted, or alternatively suggest what it is? I'm thinking a hybrid of some sort?

Thanking you in advance.

Is this poison ivy?

Hope the picture is clear enough, this sprouted over the last year in my backyard where my son plays. Hoping it’s not poison ivy. Thank you in advance for any help on this!

This isn’t what I’m hoping it’s not, right?

I am currently having the worst poison ivy reaction of my life and my dog just ran through this. I’m starting to see “leaves of three” everywhere, please help me reconnect with my sanity. What is this a field of?

What is this Buganvilia variety?

I’ve seen these everywhere in the Mexican town I’m visiting- all tree like, less invasive looking.

Carrot variety or weed with carrot looking roots?

Either Previous homeowner planted some veg out front or current homeowner (me) should have pulled these weeds 2 summers ago when I bought the place.
