It was nice to see you today :)

I'm not sure what that first plant is...maybe let it go to bloom, then if it's a weed get rid of it?

I've realized this spring that I should have been more diligent about marking the plants...I thought I would remember everything I planted but I don't.

The blue flower, maybe a campanula of some sort? It's pretty non the less :)

yes, I think the first one is a weed but I agree it would be better to let it bloom and then identify it.

Cheryl said...

I think the blue flower is a Lobelia.

Good Morning .. by my very much non-gardener's eye, the plant in your first picture looks too full, happy and benign to be a weed. Weeds seem to be leggier and tougher-looking ... (how's that for an assessment?)

I think the wait-n-see approach is a good one.

Priscilla said...

Weeds in good soil can become extremely lush.

Hi Girls!
Yes I had a fun time visiting with you and D Cheryl . Your road is kinda bumpy on my motorcycle though, I may have to try the other way and see if it's any better next time!
Well this weed or flower should be doing something soon, it's Huge! I'll get a shot of the top and you can see what it looks like

You're lucky, it's raining over here. :P
I'm not sure if it's a weed or not...just wait and see what happens with it!

Wild Lettuce.
Also called Opium Lettuce.

Biddie said...

(( laughing )) good grief!!

Priscilla - what made you think this was the wild lettuce plant? From the couple of pictures I found of the wild/opium lettuce, the leaves seem to be quite different.

But Kristen, there seems to be a different kind of plant growing at the mystery plant's base. You are going to have to put plant labels beside each plant with the name and source on it so that you can back track if you come up with some wierd plant like this ....

Kristen said...

I started leaving the labels in the ground near the plant this year, I just don't remember where or when this one came from , it't getting huge, I'll go take more pictures before I go to work today
