It's HATTRICK time!
So, here's something new for you guys - being a bit different from the 'classic' search for species:
As I am a fan of challenges, I have this going on as a personal quest for some time already, and I wonder why I didn't come up with the idea of promoting it in this group earlier.
Here's the mission: Find three plants of the same genus at the same spot (i.e. visible in one photo).
Too easy, so I exclude it here, is the 'Trifolium-triplet'.
So, for a start, to successfully participate in this challenge, either find three Acer or three Plantago species at the same spot. I managed to find both of these combinations already twice, so it should be doable. Bonus points, if the plants even touch each other 🥰
If you find other combinations, they will be evaluated by me whether they count or not 👨🏻🏫
On top of that, I created a new project: Go check out the Similar species in the same photo project and add your findings (not restricted to plants).
Hope you like the idea!

Hello, I took a picture of an Acer triplet (all wild, maybe I can include a fourth species) in our garden. I took a picture that is not that great, as the foliage is missing too much and I lack a bit of depth of field. I will try to upload the picture in the next few days.
@knuttutgut Hi, are the Acers uploaded meanwhile? Then Hattrick-Master @carnifex can take a look at them :)
I have now two Acer triplets https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/66339509 (+further links in description), https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/66378372 (+ further links in description). It was really fun to tour the forest with this new topic in mind, after finishing with the first triplet I had problems to defocus and my eyes continued to check the vicinity of each Acer leave for related compagnons :-)
I now hope for Stellaria and springtime, or maybe some springtails in the winter.
nice, and also aesthetic :)
Hello mobbini,
I´m sorry for the delay... Today I took a closer look at the pictures. Only two species can be seen really well. I think I have to wait for the next vegetation period. But within a radius of 25m I found: A. platanoides, A. pseudoplatanus, A. campestre and A. saccharinum. A picture of just the foliage would not be a problem ;-)
ähem just the foliage is a well known and acceptable trick :-D ... and 5 Acer species is awesome!
Where do you count 5 species? "A. picture" is not a maple species :-D
:-D I really have to clean my eyes
Haha, just 4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/66466757
no cheating? ;-)
That's why I asked if foliage is ok. Next year i'll verify with pictures of foliaged trees ;-)
Edit: for the sake of honor... New picutre added. I hope this one is better :-D However, A. campestre stands a few meters away.
