This is another unlabeled plant from Lowe's and the only one of it's kind left on the table. It's about 8 inches tall and the blooms are 1.5 inches across. I was thinking Balloon Flower but the leaves are different from the ones in our database. Unknown ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) I have a long planter out front being used as a nursery of sorts for plants I find in the garden but can't ID. I found this one in one of the planters with a mini-rose. Fresh soil and new pot so it must be something a bird planted for me while flying over. Another unknown ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )
The first one looks like platycodon or balloon flower is the common name The second one reminds me of an American Sycamore tree. not for sure, that is just what it reminds me of.
I agree with Netty & Palustrus that the first is a campanula, maybe 'Blue Chips'. I have no clue about the second.
I think it's Campanula carpatica 'Blue Clips' too. Thanks all. I'm thinking the second one might eventually start vining just from the way it's growing. Only time will tell
The leaves on #2 do resemble a Hollyhock but Hollyhock leaves are one at the end of a long soft stem. Sorry for the confusion, this is a side view of the unknown plant.

Hi Toni, at first glance i also would have thought Hollyhock,..but the stem and the leaf are not the same,..a potential creeper could be correct,..look at my young Hollyhocks.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that my Malva sylvestri has that growth pattern too, Malva sylvestri ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) But the standard Hollyhocks I have don't have that pattern Leaves at the end of long stems ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) So anyway, it's not a Hollyhock that much I do know.
You might be on to something, Cal. I found another piece out in the back yard this evening and thought to myself..."self, that looks like it might be a start of the wild grape vine growing on the back fence" I will check that out tomorrow. I do know that I have never had a definitive ID of that grape vine, other than 'wild grape'. Maybe it doesn't have another name???
You see? You should have swallowed the seeds not spit them out.... I sometimes to. But I never think I am helping plants multiply. Hehehe... Now I see why there's seedless grapes (I just bought 3 plants this spring...)
