A close up of a leaf:
The plant had been sprawling among some other plants, and when I untangled it, it flopped to the ground.
Next is a vine that I've been pulling most places, but let this one grow to see what it does. It came up later in the season than a lot of plants. Do you know what it is?
I liked the lacy look of these leaves, and at first, thought this may be Queen Anne's Lace, but it has a weedy looking seed head, so I pulled all of these except this one today. I wonder what this is.
Hey Tina, I drug these photos down like you said I could, and was able to write at the top. Thanks!
I'm thinking the heart shaped one is Morning Glory. The last one I have also...thought it was a tomato plant but husband says no.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what your weeds are, but they're all more attractive than the weeds that grow in my yard!
ReplyDeleteSorry Sue, I don't know these either but agree that they are attractive. :-)

I don't know either, the second one does remind me a little of a Cosmos I have.
ReplyDeleteThat bottom plant looks like an orange or yellow cosmo. Could it be? We have a vine with heart shaped leaves that I think is a weed. I dont know.
ReplyDeleteI leaning towards Morning Glory vine with the second one.
ReplyDeleteI grow morning glories, and these are different from them. Is there a wild version that is a bit different? They haven't offered to bloom so far. Also, when they come up, they do not have the same kind of leaves as other morning glory seedlings.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the last one is a wild form of cosmo. The flower is about 1/4 inch across.
Those last few look to me like Bidens. Google for it. The seed pod forming looks like what we call Spanish Needles. Not fun when the dog's fur is full of those stickers!
ReplyDeleteIn its favor, it may be some kind of butterfly host plant, but IMHO, better left to the fields, not a cultivated garden.
Hi Sue~~ The first one is knapweed or knotweed--a thug in the Persicaria [Kiss me over the garden gate clan.] The second: morning glory. The third has foliage like Sweet Cicely but the blossoms definitely look Bidens-ish. Usually Bidens is a low growing or hanging basket type plant so this upright version is a bit baffling. Or could it be a buttercup?
ReplyDeleteHi, found your blog from googling on pokeweed.
ReplyDeleteThe first plant looks to me like one of the smartweeds, Persicaria or the closely related Polygonum.
The second looks much like a redbud tree seedling. Look for a tree nearby with the same leaves and zigzag twig pattern. If you have a redbud tree you can expect little trees to sprout up all over. Look in the redbud tree and you will find now the seedpods that were once the beautiful flowers of spring. It puts out a lot of seed normally.
The third flower looks like spanish needles, Bidens bipinnata
Nice blog!
There is a wild morning glory pink and white. I love it .. I thought the first looked like a wild clover of some sort ..honestly can't say. some look so pretty we hate to see them leave. I let the wild morning glory stay and it soon disappears..sandy
ReplyDeleteThe first weed looks a bit like some kind of knotweed or smart weed. Not sure on the second one with the heart shaped leaves but I would pull it. The last one, now that is one I need to know because I have it too. It is in only one garden and I keep thinking I planted it. The seeds look like marigold seeds so it may be a type of wild marigold. I'll be digging in my wildflower book soon as I have another that needs identification but I think that I have that one.
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked on dragging the photos. Uploading photos can be tricky. Just experiment and find what works for you.
I'd say the first two are wild invasive fleece flower, the second one was red bud tree (they are very seedy too). The last one is new to me. Thank you for the bone-set id:) Nice to have a name for the face:)
ReplyDeleteSince I am NOT an Expert, I am so glad lots of people can help us find out the info we need, just by posting a photo!
ReplyDeleteEven you have assisted me in this endeavor. Thanks
Rosey
I very seldom chime in when someone needs help identifying a plant and when I do, I'm usually wrong. It's fun to read what everyone else thinks they are. So many smart people out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and ideas for what my weeds may be. I think those who said the first one is a smartweed or knotweed are right. Grace, that is the plant that reminded me of Kiss-Me. I need to go look at it again. I'm still not sure about the second one. I wonder if it is a redbud tree. I had one right next to my house for awhile, and decided to pull it, as it wasn't in a good place. These lay down like they are going to be vines, though. The third I'm certain is the Spanish Needles, biden. I haven't decided their fates yet.
ReplyDeleteYou've gotten great info on the 'weeds' Sue! My first thought was Redbud on the heart shaped leaf, but vine threw me. The seedlings do lie on the ground until they get going. gail
