The pic could be cosmos foliage - it's hard to tell with the ends weighted
down with water. I suppose it's possible that some seeds survived
underground for several years and germinated when the soil was disturbed,
although I wouldn't normally think of cosmos seeds as being that persistent.
(Usually hard-coated seeds like grains and beans seem to have a longer
"shelf-life".) There are a few other plants with very fine thread-like
foliage, including nigella. Have you ever planted that? (Just thinking out
lout).

No, it doesn't sound or look familiar. Sorry, I didn't think about the
water. That area gets full souther sun against a white house and my
dryer vents nearby. However last winter was pretty hard and I almost
lost all my roses, so I would be surprised as well if they lasted

Considering it's September I guess I'll rip them out and plant real ones
next year. I really liked them.

Oh, I do have a Coreopsis Moonbeam nearby but it doesn't look *quite*
the same as that.


Thanks,
