Identify Plant
Hi - I have a patch of this unidentified plant (image link below)
growing in a flower bed - we bougth the home so I don't know if it was planted there or not. Can someone help with an ID? thanks http://img320.imageshack.us/img320/4...geplant9lm.jpg |
Its a nasty invasive weed masquerading as an aromatic ornamental herb,
Artemisia vulgaris, a.k.a. "mugwort" or "wormwood". http://images.google.com/images?q=Ar...earch+Imag es It spreads rapidly from underground stolons. Dig it out and keep an eye open for it sprouting from the ground. wrote in message oups.com...

The leaves look quite similair, but I can't find a picture of Artemisia
vulgaris with the small starts along the main branch like this has; If someone else wouldn't mind weighing in before I pull them all up I'd appreciate it! |

nope, no flowers or buds...

What an unappreciative jerk. Who are you to question?
The link I gave you had hundreds of pix. Look again, dummy. wrote in message oups.com...

Whoa - calm down buddy. I appreciate you posting, but I loked through
maybe 200 pictures from the link yousent, and as I posted, I couldn't find any pictures that displayed the stuble along the branch as I have on my plant. I don't think it's crazy to ask for a second opinion before I pull up a full bed of something which may end up being an attractive flower. Cereus-validus....... wrote: What an unappreciative jerk.

The "little stubble" really isn't significant for identification.
You didn't look very hard. Here's a close-up of a leafy stem showing the axillary leaflets. Happy now? As the plant matures they elongate into branches. http://www.aphotoflora.com/Artemisia...f-29-06-04.jpg I have the weed growing in my yard and have first hand knowledge of what it looks like. If you actually looked at the pix in the links, you would have seen it does not have attractive flowers. Its not a Chrysanthemum, babe. The superficial resemblance of the foliage is how the weed gets a foothold into most gardens. For ideal identification, the plant should be in bloom and that would remove any doubt. Several people have asked you if the plant is aromatic and you still have not answered. wrote in message oups.com... Whoa - calm down buddy.

Don't mind Cereus. He thinks he's the Goddesses Gift to plat identification.
Just remember the "Cereus validus" is a cactus, so he tends to be a bit thorny. Always Question. Murri wrote in message oups.com... Whoa - calm down buddy.
