    :oops: I planted these seeds and they were suppose to be Painted Daisies and Purple Aster( I think I mixed up the seeds). Well, other seeds werent either so I was wondering if someone could tell by the leaves what it was and how do I get it to bloom. It just keeps growing taller and taller but no signs of buds.

    Doesn't look familiar, but maybe it is a fall blooming plant. Don't give up on it yet.

    Thats the only thing it has right now. Stringy leaves. Lots of them but nothing that would make it stick out, I dont think. I think Ill just have to wait for the blooms.

    Could it be a cosmos, I just looked at mine bc they aren't blooming yet. The plants are pretty, thick stems, and they are just getting buds on them. As dry as it has been, even though we are watering daily, things are just not blooming as they should. It seems as if everything is delayed. I have a small clump of hidden lily ginger(curcuma petiolata) that blooms in May, last year it had six of the prettiest inflorescences you ever want to see, this year none. I think the weather has everything messed up.

    After hearing what Sharon said, I went looking at my seed packs. I had indeed planted two types of cosmos' together. The orange ones (which you see in the background) and "single sensations mixed colors Cosmos'.

    I just dont know why my orange ones came out smaller and shorter and have bloomed but the others havent.

    Oh well.....mystery solved! Thanks Sharon!

    Denee, did those ever bloom? I had some that did the same thing, the smaller plants bloomed, the big ones, beautiful plants, did not bloom. They just get taller and prettier, but no flowers. I'm confused!!!!!!!!
