Thanks to some observant bloggers, it was pointed out to me that these 2 plants are not the same as each other. The plant on the right looks like poppies to some. I did have a couple poppies in the area that never did much, so I dug them up and gave them to a neighbor. Maybe I didn't get all the roots.
I forgot to mention in the previous post that last fall I put different kinds of spent flowers from other people's yards here and there in the new bed. I'm thinking I may have put some poppy heads of a different color than what I had grown. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
I wonder if the one on the left is a bellflower of some kind.
Here's a leaf from the one on the left:
The one on the right does look like a poppy leaf:
I noticed this coming up right next to the plant on the right. This looks different to me, too. I wonder if I'm going to need to move a couple plants to give them more room.
I hope you find out what they are
ReplyDeleteI'm always planting things, then losing the markers. It's kind of fun to see what will pop out of the ground.
ReplyDeleteI've never grown poppies, so I take your word. Isn't it wonderful to have such unknown visitors? You're always in for a surprise. I save almost all of them and recently one of them out to be a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI don't think these were there in the fall when I was making markers. I need to decide whether to move a couple of them to give them more room. I don't think poppies like to be moved, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.

First, congrats on your big win, Sue.
ReplyDeleteThe plant is still to young for me to make a definitive answer. On impulse I'm wondering if it's a Matricaria or feverfew. If you can/want please post pictures as it grows.
Enjoy your new read.
Oh the mysteries of gardening, aren't they great when they are solved?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the blooms and solve the mystery. It's so exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda looks like a Gerber daisy leaf to me. Have you ever planted any in your garden? You must let us know when it finally blooms. Hugs, Rosemarie
ReplyDeleteOur Calif poppy leaf looks very differnt. I'm so bad at plant identification these days - must get out my books from all the classes I took.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in Nebraska!
Don't you just love a good mystery? I can't tell what they are! I have some mysterious seedlings coming up too, and haven't gotten any answers on what they are. I guess I'll wait and see!
ReplyDeletePoppies - I love poppies. But I used to grow them and every year I would see those little shoots coming up and pull them as weeds. Now I have no poppies. Some flowers are just hard to identify when they first start out in the spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments! I'm still trying to decide if I should move one of the plants to give the others more room. It should be warm enough in a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI know they aren't gerbera daisies. I don't think it's feverfew. It looks like they'll remain a mystery longer. They look too pretty to be weeds.
I'm excited about winning Jan's book! Thanks, Jan! My hellebore has handled our cold nights fine. I was worried, since I had just planted it a few weeks ago.
