Here is a plant, weed, flower that came up in my flower patch. It kind of has the look of a dasiy with a small yellow flower that looks like a dandelion. Any suggestions?

Hard to see, but it looks like one of the hawkweeds.  Does it look like this in bloom?

What are these three? I think one might be beebalm and one might be clover.
Is this beebalm?


Is this some kind of clover?

Hmm, the middle one, I thought looked like birdsfoot trefoil.  Could be the yellow clover though.  Beautiful day, love to live life, health.  Cindi

The top one is definately not bee balm, it is a red rounded cluster.

the middle one is out of focus, might be hop clover, wild indigo

still working on the third one

reinbeau, not really. The shoots have what appear to have blooms coming on but they never open. I think UIm just going to pull it because I didnt plant it there so I believe it is some kind of weed.

Are the bees working it?

Ann, you never cease to amaze me with your incredibly vast knowledge of plants (the "common" names and the Latin, which you always know), smiling.  Good for you girl, you go, girl, go!!!  I know many plants by both the common and Latin name, but usually am more intune with the common.

Evening Primrose.  I remember growing that when I had my nursery business.  Such a beautiful description in the seed catalogue.  I was very disappointed when I grew it and it turned out to be such a weedy, huge plant.  Part of the description was that it was extremely fragrant.  Perhaps my soils do not support this type of plant to have a sweet fragrance, but I never smelled nothing, no sweet scent that I thought would prevail through my gardens.  I wound up ripping the many plants out, they were not tame enough for the areas that I chose for them to grow in.

Now Valerian.  Holy smokin' smokes!!!  I must get a picture of the Valerian out the back of my Sister's place, perhaps today I'll get out there.  When you are smelling the flowers up closely, they reak!!!  Truly stink.  But.....if you are walking anywhere near the area, the sweet fragrance is nothing short of what will take your breath away.  Don't understand the dynamics of how something can smell so beautifully that distance away, but stink up close.  (By the way, ever smelled Valarian Root capsules, eeeks and more eeks!!!!  I recall that stench so clearly, the capsules didn't taste so badly, but never, ever, smell the bottle that they live in, smiling).  Beautiful days, to love and live, great health.  Cindi

Ah, valerian, yes, dried, it stinks like dirty gym socks!  Blech!  But I do love the fragrance in the garden, as you say, from a distance :)

I have no idea what this is. (would gallberry be this small?) The bees haven't been paying as much attention to it this year as last, but the bumbles love it.



This is as big as I can get the image to upload. (It's 4.5 M. but imageshack keeps converting it into a thumbnail - tried settings to no real avail.) hope this is big enough.
