What is growing with my Spirea?
Okay, this plant was growing right with my Spirea. Pulled it out and moved
it, keeping it separate for now until I see what it is. Anyone have a guess at this? http://www.quickmire.com/temp/spireawhat1.jpg Have also noticed more of it growing alongside the Spirea. The roots of this plant were long and totally intertwined with the Spirea's. While I'm at this guessing game, can someone make a guess on these 2 unknowns: The following is where I planted a fan fern last year. Only other thing that was once there were some tulips. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat1.jpg And these 2 long leaves are also where some tulips were planted a few years ago, but I thought I had gotten all the bulbs. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat2.jpg Always curious to know what it is that likes my garden seeing 1/3 of what I purposely plant doesn't! grin |

The leaves look somewhat different. As Garrapata speculated, might be Herb Robert - Geranium robertianum, except the examples of Herb Robert I found online are darker than my speciman. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat1.jpg Looks a bit like a solomon seal or a false solomon seal. Yup, this it could be. Guess it needs to grow a tad more. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat2.jpg Those are either from tulip bulb offsets not yet well developed, or from completely worn-out bulbs. That's what I thought. Those bulbs never fully bloomed when we first put them in. Maybe I'll dig them out and thus see if they are bulb-based. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir!

Nice pictures! Are they scanned prints, or from a digital camera? If the
latter, what brand & model? |

Digital Camera, Canon Pro90is. Not a bad camera, but many newer models out
now are better. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message t... Nice pictures! Are they scanned prints, or from a digital camera? If the latter, what brand & model? |

ble.rogers.com... Okay, this plant was growing right with my Spirea. Pulled it out and moved it, keeping it separate for now until I see what it is. Anyone have a guess at this? http://www.quickmire.com/temp/spireawhat1.jpg The leaves look like Rue (Ruta graveolens), but not the stems. Hmmm. Strong, odd scent when you pulverize a bit of leaf between your fingers? |

Anyone have a guess at this? http://www.quickmire.com/temp/spireawhat1.jpg It looks like one of the Erodiums, which is weedy as hell for me around here. It's a relative of the wild geraniums, which is why it resembles them. Have also noticed more of it growing alongside the Spirea.

Only other thing that was once there were some tulips. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat1.jpg Sould be Solomon Seal, but it loks more like Smilacina racemosa, False Solomon Seal.

And these 2 long leaves are also where some tulips were planted a few years ago, but I thought I had gotten all the bulbs. http://www.quickmire.com/temp/plantwhat2.jpg Those could be spent tulip bulbs, they'll send up leaves for years without flowers, although they're usually big, fat leaves.

It's a relative of the wild geraniums, which is why it resembles them. Good chance it is Erodium. My speciman is still too young to see the full leaf definition, but it does have the general leaf structure, and has the hairy stems (notice how much of a newbie I am!)

Solomon's Seal seems to get the most votes. Will have to see if it flowers
