These are some unknown flowers growing in my side yard. I posted the purple one earlier before it bloomed. The leaves look somewhat like cosmos but it's not cosmos as you can see from the blooms. I may have sprinkled some wildflower seeds last fall because they are in several different places. The pink ones are in the same spot as the purple ones. Now, this white one really is a wildflower because it's growing through the fence and is growing all over the place along the roads and in yards. That is the flower. When it blows away, a white fuzz is left which is the seeds. I didn't get a picture of the fuzz. Hope you can see them well enough to help me. dooley
Those purple ones look a lot like delphiniums, and the last one is a dandelion seed head. The one in the middle reminds me of a Gypsophila, but I'm not sure. There are so many varieties. Edit: Found a link to the annual Delphinum.
Your flower looks like Larkspur Dooley. The color of yours is beautiful. The pink ones look like Baby's Breath.
The Dandelion has a yellow flower with a wispy puff ball of seeds. If the white in the picture is the flower and not the seed puff then it is something besides a dandelion. http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Plants ... elion.html The middle one looks like Pink Babies Breath, a Gypsophila... this is the only good picture I could find of it http://www.localharvest.org/store/item.jsp?id=3225
I think the purple ones are delphiniums too Dooley don'yt know about the others.They are really pretty.
Thanks! I did see some delphiniums at the store this afternoon that looked sort of like the purple ones but with longer flower stems, not as compact. Whatever they are I think they sure are pretty. The pink ones do look like that picture Toni. The white one is not a dandelion. The white is the flower, not the seeds. I'll have to look at the library and see if I can find it's picture in a book. This is the first year I've seen them here but they were not planted by anyone around here so they must have blown in from somewhere. dooley
