Can Anyone Identify For Me?
I recently poured a heap of seeds into my garden in order to get some decent
flowers.. well, basically achieved that, but a couple of plants turned up unexpectedly (tomatoes, for instant).. but these two I am not sure about.. http://spakatak.0catch.com/plant/index.html Can someone tell me what they are, and whether they should flower sometime? If they won't flower, then i'll yank 'em and put them elsewhere, but i'd still like to know what they are, so any help would be greatly appreciated. -Warren. |

Kinda looks like fennel to me. The plant does flower & the seeds are great
in curry. The Indian restaurant I used to live with had a bowl of fennel seeds & sugar at their front counter for customers to try, it tasted a lot like liquorice. -- Wanda aka Willow The missing and definitely not to be taken seriously under any circumstances garden gnome http://www.2000cn.com.au/~willow ~~faeries are able to fly because they take themselves lightly~ Warren Sergent wrote in message ...

I've seen it somewhere and just can't remember where... I don't think it's fennel, because fennel gets a thick, fibrous white base with 'ribs' sort of like celery. The quickest way to tell is to squish some of the leaves between your fingers: fennel smells strongly of aniseed. I *think* it's something like comfrey or chamomile: one of the BYC (bloody yellow composites). It will eventually get a smallish white or yellow daisy flower if it belongs to that family... Hope someone can post what it *really* is, 'cause now you've got me wondering! -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

If it has an aniseed smell (rub some in your hand), it could be one of the above,... but the finess of the leaves hints otherwise.

The quickest way to tell is to squish some of the leaves between your fingers: fennel smells strongly of aniseed. You are thinking of Florence fennel. There is common fennel, which lacks the fat base and looks like dill from a distance. I think it's too coarse even for fennel, and has the wrong growth habit. I'm betting on cosmos. Pink or white daisy flowers, about a metre high. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) The most consistent empirical proof from history is the doctrine of human depravity. -- Chuck Colson |

Celeriac has stalks and leaves that look like wimpy celery. They can be used like celery, but are more fibrous. Better to peel and slice the bulb for use in soups, stews etc. I think by aniseed you may mean Florence fennel, which isn't really a root as celeriac is, but widened stem-bases. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) The most consistent empirical proof from history is the doctrine of human depravity. -- Chuck Colson |

if it doesnt smell like aniseed, then they look like cosmos to me, if they
get purple flowers, then it is cosmos "Warren Sergent" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the assistance everyone, by the looks of things, they're likely to be Cosmos, as I'm pretty sure the seed mix may have had some cosmos in it. I just wasn't expecting them so tall.. hope they transplant easily, as I'll probably move them to another garden. Thanks again, -Warren |

My experience being that the white is the only one to get this large. I wouldn't try transplanting, they are too large now. Cosmos do best when the seeds are planted where the plant is to grow. Even when transplanted as seedlings they do not seem to reach full potential with regard to height and strength. Your cosmos looks very well and should flower prolifically, keep removing spent flowers and you will have many weeks of flowers. Let a few flowers develop seed and collect or let them self sow. I have them everywhere from a packet of seed sown several years ago and I just remove the unwanted ones each year. Regards JB |

I'm positive that they are cosmos, which can get weedy in cooler areas. -- Replace abuse with kd21 in email address to assure valid reply address. |

The smaller one I picked up later on at Clint's Crazy Bargains for about $2. Wonderful! I have both shops locally and am off to look for them (mainly the big one) I normally don't browse shops. Looks like I'll have to start...... Thanks Gerard |
