A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 4 kinds of plants to identify!

Hello everyone!! spring has gotten into full swing in Minnesota, so it's time for me to ask for some help from you guys! I've got 4 plants that I need help with

plant #1 - some type of vine?? it sure has pretty leaves!


plant #1


plant #2 - a weird leafy type of clump... it has the strangest looking leaves and I don't remember it flowering last year, but it seems to be a bigger clump this year.


plant #2 - close-up of leaves


plant #3 - kinda cute with thin, velvety leaves


plant #4 - a type of phlox, but which one??


plant #4 - side view... the leaves appear to be opposite towards the bottom of the stem, but begin to alternate toward the top. I have 4 of these growing, however this one was the biggest, measuring 33 inches tall! the others are probably less than 2 feet tall.


Any help or suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.... I rent this home but I'd like to compile a list of plants on the property so that future tenants do not have to go through this identifying thing... and perhaps they could take care of these plants properly (I hope!) I'm not moving anytime soon, just thinking of the future and trying to take care and make the most of Nature's creations!! Ya'll have a great day!!

I am not sure about the rest but the first one looks an awfuf lot like my beans. I am not sure if thats a possiblity but my bush means looked exactly like that when they were that size.

#1 could be morning glory
#2 looks like Gazania

#2 also kinda looks like Coreopsis of some sort. But if you said it didnt bloom last year then I dont know...
#3 looks like a weed that I frequently pull out of my garden...

Here is a link to IDing #3

#1 looks like some sort of weed that we get in Alberta. I found if they are not pulled while small, they like to wrap around other plants and are quite hard to remove.

They all look like weeds to me>

hope I am wrong.

#1 looks like beans
#3 looks like a weed resembling an aubergine plant with small purple flowers

Number 3 is a weed that someone sent me in a seed trade lol. I had it planted in a container and boy was my neighbor laughing at me. I even started it inside lol.
