Okay, I thought I was getting the hang of this! The more I learn, the more I realize I have so much to learn LOL! I 'thought' these were 'baby' seedum(s?) but they're obviously not. Any ideas? They've got little purple flowers blossoming...and there's a zillion of em!

You crack me up. I am so lucky today, I've already run out of coffee and haven't made a new pot yet. Great title btw lol.

I don't know what they are sorry.

Looks like raspberry on the left and I'd almost swear you have oregano.

Campanula's...
Not sure of the full name..
Bluebells
Can you get a closer shot of the
flower and leave shape..?????

Hmm so far I dont think we have a hit - I looked at google for all suggestions so far. I sure wish they were bluebells, though! I'll get a clearer shot tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Are you talking the purple
or pink one???
I"m looking at the purple one..
Posted By: MaryReboakly Re: purple flowering do-hicky - June 8th, 2005 at 12:12 AM
Yep, the purple one. The pink one is some kind of butterfly weed ... think that thread went poof when the forum went down, and of course I didn't copy/paste the mystery IDs for some of those I asked about before frown
Posted By: weezie13 Re: purple flowering do-hicky - June 8th, 2005 at 12:20 AM
I think the pink one is...
Tufted Knotweed: Polygonum caespitosum var.longisetum

YES that's the pink one, thanks Weezie! I remembered as soon as I read the name. I'm writing it down NOW! LOL! Thanks :-)

As soon as my head either pops off or the throbbing stops, I'll get outside for a clearer pic of that purple one. Though it might be hard to do with no head if it goes that way.

Do Hickies are what you get when you stay out all night with a boyfriend and wake up in the wet morning grass.
