Posted By: Dragonfly Blue13 What are these? - May 29th, 2006 at 06:26 AM
I had several plants that I couldn't tell if they were coming back this year so I was letting a few things grow. And then I went on vacation, and things really did grow. ~L~ So now its time to weed, but before I really get going, I want to make sure I am indeed getting rid of things I won't want. I think most of these are weeds, any help is appreciated. Duh

Plant 1
I think this is a weed, it started popping up all over while I was away. It has maroon splotch in the center of most of the leaves.

I consider this a weed, but I am curious as to what it is.

Could plant 7 be some sort of Rudbeckia?

Did you plant vegetables? #7 sort of looks like squash and the last pictures look like something too. I just can't think of what right now.

No vegetables planted. #7 is near where I had Gloriosa Daisy and Shasta daisy plannted. Last year was the first year I had planted them. Main plants for either didn't come back, and I don't know if the winter we had killed them or not. It got warm, then real cold again, then warm, then cold. I did learn on these boards that Gloriosa daisy is a biennial that self seeds. Was kinda hoping it did and the winter here didn't completely kill it off.

#7 Could very well be your Gloriosa Daisy's..

*sometimes plants look like other plants until you get different angles/perspectives on them...

#4. When that plant flowers, can you post a picture for us.. I know I know it, just can't place it right yet...
