A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 planted seeds - can't remember its name (pic)

Well this is one of about 4 plants I started from seeds from a member here I can't remember what it is ... can you help??

As the other 3 begin to bloom I'll post but for now this one is blooming but seems to turn to seed quickly


close up

I'm thinking the stock was suppose to be white and to smell really good. That doesn't look like anything I would have traded for. I'm stumped. I'll have to look what was on my list back then and see if anything rings a bell.

Looks like my old seed exchange list is long gone. If you would like I'll replace those seeds with something a little better. Let me know what you would like to do.

ok from the list it looks like you choose:

Gaillardia "Goblin"
Jewels of Opar
Love in a mist
Love lies bleeding
Salvia Blue
Salvia Purple

I've planted some love lies bleening and I know your picture isn't it. In the cases of the other seeds the jewels of opar I got from "seeds for thee" and e-bay company. The salvia I got from a commercial company I think it was swallowtail but I can't swear to it because it's been a while. the others were from trades and I don't remember who the trades were with.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I would go with the "Jewels of Opar".....

I looked it upo and that's exactly what it is! your the best!

Notice the name of the site

Glad I could help..

I know how frustrating it is to have a plant
and not know the name of it or how it grows..

I never knew what this was till I read this. Thanks for IDing.

I too, have this growing in a pot, I am trimming to keep the flowers from going to seed. I have them sprouting up all over areas I don't want them.

Reminds me of the Jewels of Opar.

Thats my story, and i am sticking to it.
