Hi I need help with plant id for 2 plants. Plant #1 has serrated medium green compound leaves, grows in damp soil in the woods, grows 16-18 inches tall, is a wildflower perennial & flowers a white fuzzy bloom in late May. Here are 2 photos: Photo #1 ( photo / image / picture from Cayuga Morning's Garden ) Photo #2 Berries will take the place of this flower. I think they are white? ( photo / image / picture from Cayuga Morning's Garden ) Plant #2 is a diminutive little thing, 2 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches tall. It can be found growing in lawns. It blooms a tiny daisy like flower 1/2 inch across in May & June. Maybe it is a wild bellis perenne? Plant #2, photo #3 ( photo / image / picture from Cayuga Morning's Garden ) Plant #2, photo #4 flower is the size of a dime ( photo / image / picture from Cayuga Morning's Garden ) Thanks for your help everyone.
The first one is not Astilbe, it is a Baneberry. Berries are poisonous, something to think about if you have small children going to the area. Actaea rubra (Red Baneberry)
Hi all-- I know it is not an astilbe, although the foliage is similar. Netty, I looked up baneberry and figured out it is an Actaea pachypoda, a white baneberry. I found a clutch of them growing at the family farm south of Buffalo, NY & brought one home. It has been flourishing in MA. http://wildwoodsurvival.com/survival/fo ... index.html Plant #2? Bellis perenne?
Bellis perennis (English Daisy, Lawn Daisy) Ignore the pink one on this page, I don't really think it belongs there since everything I have found only mentions this flower coming in white.
