Can someone please help me ID'ing these 3 plants?

Hi,

There are 3 conifers about which I don't know what species they are.

First one:
I think this one is Pinus halepensis, but I'm not sure at all.
{{gwi:641895}}
{{gwi:641896}}

{{gwi:641897}}
{{gwi:641898}}

{{gwi:641899}}

{{gwi:641901}}

{{gwi:641903}}

Second one:
I found this one near the sidewalk and transplanted it.
{{gwi:641904}}

{{gwi:641905}}

{{gwi:641906}}

Third one:
While digging the cypress from the previous pictures out, I noticed this small one and decided to take it with me too:
{{gwi:641907}}

{{gwi:641908}}

Thank you very much!
Alexander

Liop,
The first one is a Pinus nigra.
The second one in the pot is a Chamecyparis lawsoniana seedling.
The third one is an Abies koreana seedling.

As said before, I'm not a species specialist...

#1 is Pinus thunbergii.

Agree with Coniferjoy on the other two.

Hey plant people! mr subjunctive, I think you nailed the first plant. It does have the same markings of warneckii. In anycase, I also vote dracaena. I'm absolutely curious about #3. I'll post the begonia in the begonia forum. Is there anyone who can id #3? I've been researching peperomia and haven't found anything similar, but thanks for the input seaecho1. I'll keep looking into peperomia sites.

That's what I think too. The brown leaf can't turn green again, plant would look better if you take that off, but glad you left it on for the pic to show what's going on. Looks like it has a toxic buildup of something in the soil, likely fluoride, to which this plant is very sensitive. Over time, some tap water can alter the PH of the soil also. Has it ever been repotted? The next time it's dry, I would flush the soil with a gallon of distilled (not bottled drinking water) or rain water if possible. Pour about 1/4 of the gallon on it, wait 15 minutes, pour another quart. Wait 15 minutes, then very slowly pour the last half gallon, all over the surface of the soil, not just in one spot. Then let it dry well before watering again. It likes very bright shade, but not much if any direct sun outside. In the house, some direct sun that's not during the middle of the day should be fine. Come on by the house plant forum if you have further questions or need instructions on repotting, best done during summer.

It's a Senecio (formerly Kleinia). The photo is too small and maybe the plant is too small to be able to determine exact species. Joe

The leafy one looks like a Senecio. If it has a yello daisy like flower, it is. The spikes one is a Deuterochonia, previously called Abrometiella. Mir is Avery spikey bromeliad, and grows like a succulent rather than like the soft leaved bromeliads.

Thank you very much for the ID's.

The first one is near the spot where I saw the bad-looking P. mugo subsp. rotunda about which I asked an ID too. At first I though they were both the same species because they looked similar, but when I went too look closer then I could see the cones were definitely different.
Funny part is that someone else suggested in that thread where I asked for an ID that it could be P. thunbergii. So I guess both trees are similar looking indeed.

The second one I think comes from a hedge close-by that was (I think) never trimmed and therefore started producing cones.

The third one is almost a miracle to me. Closest Abies koreana that I'm aware of is at least a few hundred meters away from where I found it.
I'm very glad I dug it out too because A. koreana was also on my wanted list. :)

I think your fir seedling may very well be Abies alba...

Hmmm... It can indeed be something different... There is a big tree 150m away which I think is Abies alba indeed (definitely not A. Koreana).

Any opinions on why it would be A. alba or A. koreana?

I don't know whether this is decisive information since it's just a 1-year seedling, but I measured the biggest needle it has and it's about 1.9cm (0.748 inch) long and 1.6mm (0.063 inch) wide.
