Includes large pics
I hope I am allowed to just link the pics up as full size, seems whenever I manually resize them they go to small to tell what they actually are.. If its not allowed just close the thread I guess..

These are some plants,flowering plants and one I think is some type of veggie plant that I have in my yard. These are ones I am definetly interested in having in my own yard when we buy so I need to know the names so I can get them..lol

H) I thought this was a flower at first but apparently they are some type of bean.. I was mad when I saw those gross things coming out, then upon further inspection I realised it was supposed to do that..hah

I seriously cant hepl but laugh, when I think the pics are good size they are either big or too small, and when I want them to be large they come out small.. I just cant seem to get it right..haha ok well

For sure G. is Centaura Montana, and H. is a really pretty color of Lupine.

A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F. Geranium clarkei 'Kasmir White'
G. Bachelor Buttons, *Mountain Bluet*
H. Lupine
I. Red Valerian

Is it edible, the lupine?

that red valerian, I had it everywhere and was pulling it out and then I saw this beautiful hummingbird enjoying himself (I am assuming it was a he! LOL) and then I quit pulling it up!

I think that one F is some sort of geranium right?
it sure looks like a couple that I have,

that is very funny about you thinking there were beans coming out of the lupine!! how cute!!

thanks for sharing.

They arent beans? I still thought they were some type of bean.. I guess they arent edible then..hehe

The red valerian is sooooo pretty.. My yard has SO many other types of plants, its crazy..

NOT that I know of.....

They look like hairy beans..lol

The first 3 I know I've seen. The first is alway's growing in my garden and I pull them out.
I think D and E could be anemone.
F is Geranium.
G is Bachelor Buttons.
H looks a bit like Lupin and the leaf in the background too, but the blossom and pods also remind me of Balsam
I is red valerian.

E is Astrantia, common name Masterwort

I have a white variety in my shade garden. Makes a great addition to a cut flower arrangement.

# 1 looks like a weed called Hairy galinsoga. I have them come up all over the yard and I am constantly pulling them.
Are the stems hairy?

Here are a few pics including the stem part.
