Need help identifying herbs
 

Last year everything was late. It was my first year growing mostly from
seed and the rain kept me out of the garden until May. I thought that
these herbs had died but they came back this year. I don't recognize
them so I don't think they are weeds. I posted them in
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. I had to do the last of the 3 posts over.
It didn't up-load.

I'd appreciate any help and I apologize for the quality of the snaps. It
was a rush job as usual. If they don't get identified, I'll do better
next time.

Are all the photos of the same plant, Bill?

The first one, shot from the top, looks like echinacea.

Hmmm

OK, so I'm not a photographer. The fuzzy pictures were taken with a
polaroid that obviously has no macro capability. The second was taken by
a neighbor who was pressed into service.
Each set is of a different plant 1a&b, 2a&b and, then I got tricky, 3&4
a&b are of two plants, side by side.

I'm staying with echinacea on #1. Are the leaves and the stem
"sandpapery"? And the stem tough? If it is echinacea, you should see
some buds before long.

Others have to get the others.

I like this game, kinda like the National Geographic guess the macro
shot.

What shape is the stem? Round or square?

I ain't trying to be prickly here, Joe....but when it comes to this
here internet thing, and *most* things anymore, they ain't no such
thing as free.

I'd be willin' to bet Photobucket doesn't particularly love ya', whadda
they get out of it?

They get something for you using their bandwith.

Hell, mebbe it's just me, but my Trust-O-Meter never registers very
high on these here Interweb things.

I'm tempted to say that it is echinacea except that the pictures I've
seen of echinacea don't show the leaves to be exactly opposit of each
other, which is the case with my plant.

Otherwise, that's what it looks like except as I say that the leaves on
my plant are exactly opposite each other the next pair, up or down, are
at right angles to the first pair of leaves.

So, unless there is something else that looks like echinacea, then that
is what it must be. Funny, the one planted in the ground never came back
from last year.

Oh yeah Charlie, it has a roud, not square, stem.

Hmmmm.......I'd go out with a torch and look about stem placement
except.........THE DAMN DOG KEEPS EATING IT OFF!!!!!!! At least she
doesn't dig for the good part. Tell ya what, a Dane can move a bunch
of soil in a hurry!

The two collies we used to have, they did the same thing.

They knwo what's good for them too.

Guess you are going to have to wait for the bloom. Or wait for someone
who really knows what they are about.

3a looks like a mint on the left and maybe lavender or
tarragon on the right.

Brush your fingers on the leaves and see what those
plants smell like.

Mints normally (always?) have square stems.

Let me put it this way: I put pictures there. The credit card never leaves
my wallet. I've never noticed if there's advertising, or whether they offer
other services which some people purchase. I get no junk email from them.
Sounds free to me.
