Am seeking information on What I thought I planted, Dill. It smells like
dill(the foliage), but the flowers are single about 1 in. in diameter and
yellow with a crimson center. Unlike any dill I have seen before. Please
advise. Can post a picture if helpful. Would like to identify, although as
I have already used once in cooking (before flowers appeared) it does not
seem to be harmful at least in small quantities???

Do post a picture somewhere. Dill with yellow & red flowers would be
quite attractive in an herb garden. :-)

can I post a picture attached to this message?

NEVER in a group that doesn't have the word .binaries. in its name.

You could post it to alt.binaries.test and then post here the name of
the posting in that group.

Several web sites offer free picture space.
for instance...

Just curious... before I even look at the pics, why did you "think it
was dill?" I guess what I'm saying is, where'd you get it? Regardless
of what it looks like, if you bought it at a nursery, that's most
likely what it is. If you picked cuttings off the roadside, however,
that's a different story.

I've got to say, this doesn't look like any kind of dill I've ever
seen, foliage, flowers, or otherwise...

That's not dill. Coreopsis maybe?

Looks like a Coreopsis to me, too.

Never heard of such a thing. The flower doesn't sound like anything that can
belong to a plant from this family. What did the seed look like? It should
have resembled carroway seed.

Doesn't look like whats growing in my backyard either.

Hi, I grow herbs to sell at a local farmers market. As others have said,
this isn't dill of any form.
However, it does look like Coreopsis tinctoria (plains coreopsis). You
might do a google search on this, or go to Park Seed's web site as they sell
it, as compare.
Considering how fast my dill has been bolting lately, I think I'd rather
have this!

I have to agree, I have 2 different kinds of dill growing as well, so I
think you are right about ir being coreopsis. No clue where i got the
seeds from, having moved from Southern Cal, to Northern Virginia and taking
my seeds with me. Maybe some got mixed up in the jumble of moving. Thanks
for the ID, it is too bad though, I thought it really added to the sauce I
used it in??? Is it known to be poisonous at all? I did not use a lot of
it but am wondering what would happen if I did. Not really brave enough
to risk it though.

Unless a plant is famously poisonous (Foxglove, Oleander), I don't
think there's anything harmful in sampling it. Most plants we don't
eat aren't harmful -- they just don't taste very good and/or have no
particular nutritional benefits.

Well, just FYI, then, the early leaves of this impart a fantastic dill
flavor...for those of you who are frustrated with bolting dill (as mine is
too)
