Last fall after the construction of our street was complete the contractor kindly removed the 3 inches of soil from the H***strip that I had told them not to put in there. I raked up the soil, scattered some wildflower seeds and some leftovers from years gone by then covered it all up with mulch. This spring there are several plants out there and more to come since there are summer ones waiting for warmer weather to germinate (at least I hope that's why they haven't shown their beautiful selves yet). The wildflower packets didn't have a list of the seeds in the package so I have three that I need to ID. And this one keeps popping up in the yard at different places. I usually pull it up but decided that since I really didn't know what it was maybe I should get it IDed first. And it's leaves....
Toni that last one looks like it might be cumin or maybe anise. I grew some last year and this is what I recall it looking like.
Toni, could that first one be delphinium? We have them popping up all over from starts a friend gave me, and that the birds so kindly planted in the gardens.
I should have read closer... No. 1 and 3 are larkspur and the green w/chartreuse I have seen something similar, but not quite that .... maybe a euphorbia sp.?
Both the blue and the white have blooms like Delphinium, but I can't really recognise the foliage. #2 is a Euphorbia of some kind. The white one at the bottom looks like some sort of Heracleum. If it's aniseed you'd smell it when you crush the blooms. Here's about Heracleum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_(plant)
Definitely Larkspur in the first picture, maybe the 3rd as well. #2 is definitely a type of Euphorbia.
Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) used to be in the Delphinium genus. The plants remaining in Delphinium have different foliage (more "fat.") http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/501621 Compare the Euphorbia to E. lathyris.
