2 x wild, 1 at home

The little pinky lilac one with the poppies is a geranium.

 

Might the last 2 pics be beans of some sort?

 

Borrowers, the last 2 pics, how fast is the plant growing?

 

Well, David, strangely enough I was just looking at it today and from the original 3 leaves (I think), it now has around 6. although not grown much in height really.

I was doing a bit more digging today & found another 2. I've planted these aswell but they were lying out in the sun whilst I was busy so didn't look too good when I potted them:rolleyes:.

I only have an old 'The Flower Expert' by Dr D G Hessayon. I went through the whole book looking for leaves i thought looked similar and these were the three I came up with, what do you think?

Sunflower - the individual picture of the flower & leaf didn't look right, but the bigger pic they seemed to look similar where the leaves come off the stem (although obviously enormous).

Then I had Morning Glory, although the leaves seemed to have more of a 'gap' as they opened from the stem.

Last one, Epimedium. Not sure of this at all. Just trying to catch all options (at least what's in this book).

What do you think?

cheers

 

To be honest, borrowers, I am thinking Japanese Knotweed. If it is, get every mm of root out, and burn it.

 

Japanese knotweed cant self seed so it's unlikely:confused: (all introduced plants are female)

 

ill put 50 quid on it not being japanese knotweed lol its got compleately differnet leaves and wouldnt it be putting on height as well as leaf growth

 

Taken a couple more to see if this helps. I've tried to show that where the 'stalky' bit (sorry just can't think of the name), was, this now has some more leaves & is still growing up.





Hope these photo's are not too big. If they are I'll try and resize them.

Thanks.

 

Could it be some form of buckwheat? Fagopyrum esculentum maybe? well they look simmilar

 

Doesn't look like I'm going to get a lovely plant out of this does it?

kalmia, is buckwheat bad? I don't need any more 'green' in my garden especially weeds. I need some colour

thanks

 

Looks like bindweed to me...

 

Oh Jarbax, that's really bad isn't it? What's the lovely white flower? It looks as if it's one of those i used to call as a child 'pop out of bed'.


thanks

 

I don't think it is bindweed as it doesen't really have that look about it lol. and buckwheat is a weed but it is also grown as a food crop as well so it isn't very invasive

 

The flower is the bindweed flower - which is quite lovely, though for many, the plant is a weed to be hoiked out all all costs. I am a little relaxed, and keep the 'weeds' I like in my garden.

Not sure atall that it is bindweed - the leaves look too 'thick', but it does look a bit like a climber. If you've planted the seedlings in pots, it shouldn't matter what it is - if it's nice, keep it - and plant it where you want it - if it's a weed that you don't want, chuck it before it set seeds, but enjoy the anticipation and the surprise!

Hope someone finds a positive ID we can all agree on soon, it's one of those that will bug me til it's found!

 

Hiya, do you have a seed bird feeder in your garden? I do and I get loads of strange plants growing from the seed thats drops on to the soil. could this be a possibility? 02
