I was given a bit of this a few years back. It's not may favorite plant in the garden, as it gets powdery mildew later in the year, but now it's looking nice. I was told it's commonly called Ring of Fire. Does anyone know it's real name?
That is a beautiful plant. I will try to find out what it is for ya! I did try a search on google and didn't find anything so far so I'll have a look in my garden books later.
Hi Hank. :-D I've tried to ID your plant and think it might be Solidago (goldenrod) it grows to about 4 feet here. It could also be Lysimachia punctata, now that IS a thug and can be hard to get rid of. Could you possibly take another photograph - a close up of the flowers and foliage please it would make a positive ID easier. Also how tall is it?
I have the variagated version of the Yellow Loosestrife, and it's not at all invasive for me. In fact, it's probably the LEAST invasive plant I have! But, not sure your yellow would behave like mine does, technically it's different. It took 5 years for my little batch here to progress this far & is easy to keep in control (variagated plant in middle of photo).
Yellow Loosestrife. That's gotta be it. Thanks folks! This isn't hard to control at all. It grows in an outward fashion, but if I take the outside two inches off with sharp shovel early in the spring, it's fine. It doesn't seed out like purple loostrife, which I believe is illegal to grow in Wisconin now. If not it should be. Anyway, thanks again! Got another one coming for ya....
Ok, here's the next one.... This is one of my favorite flowers of early summer. It grows about 4-5' tall, extremely fragrant (almost overbearing), is mainly white, some with a tinge of light pink, blooms for about 4 weeks, is a bit of a spreader, but easily manageable - the outside shoots tip over all almost immediately take root - i just pull out what doesn't belong and compost it. The stems are ridged and hollow. We affectionally call it "Stink Weed" as the shallow roots have a gross smell when you pull it. Any ideas?
Possibly yarrow, the leaves look different than mine though. I'll look through some pics and see if I find it. Have a look here http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/achilleamill.html
It looks a lot like Queen Anns Lace .It looks like Yarrow in a way too but yarrow usually has a yellow tinge .(Maybe thats a Texas thing)
You know I really think it is Queen Ann Lace .It looks like ours here in Texas but usually grows alone creek banks .I really wonder if it is Pianolady ?
