Nice to see people on here have a varied taste in plants. I’ll post some pics on here tomorrow, but I have some Roma tomatoes, Manzano peppers, and and a pepper plant that was sold to us a “fire” (kinda looks like prairie fire, but bigger and turns from green to black to red) and my buddy has a lot of stuff in our garden that I’ll take pics of to. People on here have really green thumbs!

Here’s some of my plants that look decent (a heat wave is messing up many gardens around here):
Manzano pepper with some flowers
Mini meyer lemon with some nasturtium
“Fire” chili pepper (don’t know the official name, maybe someone could ID it)
Roma tomato jungle
Another manzano pepper that’s starting to produce. I top dressed with some rich soil to try to green it up a bit. I wish I still had some super soil, it loved it before. This plants been knocked over, stem broken, and muched on over 2.5 years, but it’s still going.

Camelia… being air-layered since last Fall… 
(fingers crossed?)
A Mourning Dove hatched 2 babies in the last month. 
It was a challenge to try and hand water at 4am. I never watered the nesting one, just the lower one, crouching & slowly watering. 
This mama was incredibly tolerant and only left once that I could tell(tried to water with the hose mid day 
). My gas-powered lawn mower, dog, etc. didn’t dissuade her.

Cork Oak
I have heard this species has protected status here and people can not fell them or even prune them without a permit ot arborist…but that doesn’t stop plenty. It is indeed cork. If you want to hit a tree, this may be the one.

Excuse me, friend: are ya sure that it is a “Corq Oak” or “Alcornoque” (Quercus Suber)?.. ‘Cos I live inna the "Encinas & Alcornoques’ Land", and it looks to me very diferent from " ours" Corq Oaks… Very diferentes even from the típical NorthAfrican Sabana or Spanish Dehesa or Portuguese Dehesa’s trees look, I think…
But maybe the picture & my eyes are confusin me…
And yeah: here you need a permit even to prune your owns “Encinas” and/or “Alcornoques”…

@MiG I am almost 100% certain. The beautiful examples you posted are all MUCH older trees-- the one I have is roughly 40-50 years old, whereas those above are Centurions. (Español abajo, Señor MiG)

…es que le veo al tuyo, al ampliar la foto, como ramas finas tipo enredadera que caen al suelo verticales… Veo bien?
Da bellotas?
… is that I see yours, when enlarging the photo, like thin branches like a vine that fall to the ground vertical … I see well?
Give acorns?

Yes, both. The branches will reach to the ground and “sweep” like a broom. It produces acorns every year but I think it produces heavily every other/alternate year.
I will take a picture of an younger tree, maybe half that age.
Si ambos. Las ramas llegarán al suelo y “barrerán” como una escoba. Produce bellotas todos los años, pero creo que produce muchos otros / año alternativo.
Tomaré una foto de un árbol más joven, tal vez la mitad de esa edad.

se llama una “broma” aqui (escoba)

That looks like Mimosa Acacia to me.

Hey @Ghandisflipflop. Welcome aboard.
This is a Golden Chain Tree. I have been trying to find a nursery with these, but no luck. This tree has a sucker growing off of the base of it and I am hoping it will have viable seeds some day.

i’ve been wondering if we could add a “cannabis photog 101” thread on OG somewhere. my first upload of pic’s was a bit of a lesson, as i had to resize them from their 3.5mb original size. 
thanks for the tip @99PerCent

Es que esas finísimas ramas verticales como finas lianas, no parecen propias de ningún alcornoque. Tampoco lo parecen las hojas, incluso la forma en que amarillean… Y por ser joven no es, pues jóvenes (“chaparros”) son la mayoría de las encinas y alcornoques que me rodean…
t is that these fine vertical branches, like fine lianas, do not seem to belong to any cork oak. Neither do the leaves look like, even the way they turn yellow … And being young is not, because young trees (“chaparros”) are most of the oaks and cork oaks that surround me …

Young Encina; rear, a jungle of “Chaparros”:
