Welcome to Sgmgarden too! glad to meet you. Join right in with everyone. :)
I was finally able to get to town today, and those purple flowers do have a square stem, so I guess they are the bee balm. They have gone to seed...
Toni, maybe they made slaves taste test stuff to see if it was good to eat or not. Americans used to think tomatoes were poison until the...
She calls them giant yellow batchelor buttons. I do not know if that is the common name in Oregon or what. However, as you noted and another...
It is lovely. Silly me, I would likely move the irises and keep the shrub where it is, unless it causes trouble there.
I was thinking either Rosemary or Yew. If it has pinkish red berries with a black seed out the bottom, it would be Yew and is considered...
That is why I made my suggestion, so those of us who would like to learn them could try and learn them. I know many names of plants, common or...

Sounds like fun Toni. I cannot imagine what in the world you would do with just car doors, much less just 1 car door ??? I will be looking to see...
Toni, I do know many of those plants. Some I have only heard the name [arnica, a toxic plant used in old times for medicinal purposes according...
I like a lot of pictures too. It helps to ID the plant in my mind. I just thought it would be interesting to learn both the Latin names and the...
Lots of you seem to know the Latin names for a lot of plants. That is nice. Since there are a lot of beginners on here, or just experienced...
I think I have seen Indian hemp around here Carolyn, at least the foilage looks familiar. I hope I can find some more purple milkweed, and I may...
