|
I Planted 2 things and got 3 things and don't know what's what.
One is Hardy Hibiscus the other Rose of Sharon. The pot was under the bird feeder and maybe that's how I got another thing growing. Can anyone tell me which is which? Whats the other thing called? Thanks for the help.
First set (feels dusty) hope that helps.
2nd set
3rd set

The first is a vine so it can't be either the Hibiscus or Rose of Sharon. The leaves of the wild cucumber has 5-7 pointed lobes, yours has only three rounded ones. I know I have seen those before but can't find the pictures again.
The second might be the Hibicus, there are over 200 species so it could be one of them. Does it have multiple woody stems coming up from the ground?
The third one looks more like a ground cover or vine from the way it is laying on the ground in the pictures. Rose of Sharon is a shrub and I can't find any pictures that show it having green leaves with red veins or stems.

Well I'll just leave the 2 I trans planted and see what happens. The first one (Vine) I'll plant next to the fence and see what happens. I have more seeds of Hardy Hibiscus Pink and Rose of Sharon. This time I'll plant them in jiffy pods on the porch. Thanks for helping all.

Hey Gizmo,
Just adding my guesses 
The first (vine) looks like something from the Ipomoea group
- but that's not telling you too much -
it's a big family of plants that includes wild and ornamental Morning Glories and
edible potatoes and ornamental Sweetpotato vines.
Pic #2 I'd guess might be Hibiscus syriacus ("Rose of Sharon"),
which is also a hardy Hibiscus, by the way. 
and #3 could be a floppy Hibiscus moscheutos ("hardy Hibiscus")
several of the varieties I grow have those red stems and veins.
 The first thing I thought when I saw that last photo was Clerodendron bungii,
but if you're sure you got hardy Hibiscus, then, that's probably it.

The thrid is not cleorodendron bungie, I have it and it doesnt' look like that, but I agree on the first ZZP, a sweet potato vine, rather edible or ornamental I don't know.

Updated Pic's Everything is growing fast.
First set is Morning Glory I think. So I bought some seeds of the blue ones and they do look like it.
It starts out like this in the early morning
Then looks like this for a sort time.
2nd set My guessis some kind of Sunflower.
3rd set no idea
Any input would be great. Thank you.

I'd definitely agree with the sunflower & morning glory, kinda thinking the third one will be a surprise!
