    I bought this plant from the clearance rack. it didn't have any tag. The sales guy said he didn't know what the name was but he knew it was a perennial and had flowers. Can you identify this plant for me please?

    maybe spurge? I had something that looked like this at our old house. It has a bright bract of yellow leaves in the summer. there are flowers, but insignificant. it makes a nice ground cover. I had it on the west side of the house and it had exposure most of the day to full sun.

    I just looked up pictures of spurge on the net. My plant doesn't seem like the spurge to me.

    Looks like a weed that's growing all over the place here. Sure hope not. Curious as to what it is too.

    Perhaps a member of the Fabaceae family possibly the genus Lupinus.

    if its an asparagus fern, which i believe it is, dig in the dirt, it will have little white bulbs.. very hardy. i always had great luck with them. :)

    Another pic from a diff angle might help, if you're still unsure about its' ID.
