i need someone growing this plant if they can post pictures of it please.
ive seen all the pictures on google and they arn't worth a dam. bascily the same picture posted over and over.
i would prefer to see one without flowers aka only months old.
i have what i truely thought was st. john growin and it looks NOTHING like the pictures on google.
the leafs on this thing are as big as my head, pear or heart shaped.
whats interesting about this plant is that the leafs will spread out during the day and before nightfall they will point down.
need help identifying please.

ok i don't have camera but i hope this will do. top pic is of leaf.
second is of the bottom of the leaf and a better view of the side of it. and the stem.
third picture is a piss poor attempt at a drawing of the plant. at the very top of the plant you will notice some weird ness...what i was trying to depict is that the leafs come out in 4 directions and form like a shield for the top of the plant to protect it i guess.
there are branches coming from the stem, i show this at mid level...but it branches on every leaf past that.
lol and yeah i know i need to do some dusting



forgot a little more info. the entire plant leaf and stem are coated with fussys, makes everything feel like velt.
the plant also has a sorta musty smell to it. but not really bad smelling thow.
and if you wanna see somethin trippy look at the second picture and zoom in on it...iit looks like a spiders web lol awsome stuff

ok the only thing this thing could possible be in my opinion based on my seed collection is HOPS.
but almost all the pictures on google suggest otherwise.
this is the ONLY picture that i found that looks someone similar to what i got in leaf wise.

well thats just it, i bought lots of seeds from a very good source. and i could have sworn that i dumped all my st. john wort into this one pot. there are about 20 baby plants that were right under neath this plant...i figered they were more st. john wort. i now took them out and replanted them.
but i did have some hops that i threw into a pot because i didn't think they would grow.
i had bought lots of other plants, and i have identified basicly all of them. the only possiblitys are
evening primrose, skullcap.
i mean the more i think about it the more i think it is hops that grew faster than my st.john.
hops have a maple leaf type design...but maybe thats only when they mature? humulus lupulus.

St. john wart will make your eyes very sensitive to lights in many medical journal states it also a cause of cataracts. In regions where they ingested St. john wart regularly has high cataracts reported such as here in thailand.
Quote from Swedish medical center, seattle Washington
“Finally, a report suggests that regular use of St. John's wort might also increase the risk of sun-induced cataracts. 50 While this is preliminary information, it may make sense to wear sunglasses when outdoors if you are taking this herb on a long-term basis
peace siam
