it, keeping it separate for now until I see what it is.

Anyone have a guess at this?

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.

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.

Always curious to know what it is that likes my garden seeing 1/3 of what I
purposely plant doesn't! grin

So many things have that sort of ferny leaf, but if it is wild it could be
some variety of turkey corn (corydalis), there being many weedy species as
well as gardened species; if it gets nice flowers you'll know.

Looks a bit like a solomon seal or a false solomon seal.

Those are either from tulip bulb offsets not yet well developed, or from
completely worn-out bulbs.

Herb Robert - Geranium robertianum

The leaves look similar, but from the pics I found online, mine seems much
lighter than the Herb Robert.

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.

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.

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

The leaves look too different from wild geraniums.

No, not unless it is a type of Hosta I have never seen.

Think they are tulips from a bad group of bulbs.

Digital Camera, Canon Pro90is. Not a bad camera, but many newer models out
now are better.

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?

ahhh... didnt see that single stem there. something like a solomon seal? Ingrid

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. 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

Sould be Solomon Seal, but it loks more like Smilacina racemosa, False
Solomon Seal. Need to see the flowers to be sure.

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.

Always curious to know what it is that likes my garden seeing 1/3 of what I
purposely plant doesn't! grin

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!)

this
plant were long and totally intertwined with the Spirea's.

I think this is a good possibility, will have to see when or if this
flowers.

No, the scent doesn't match your description. How about Erodium as per Ann?

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