Name That Plant!

help with plant i.d. please? plant 1

11 years ago

So now that spring is approaching I am discovering new plants beginning to emerge. I am stumped on some (have already discovered crocus, which bloomed two weeks ago), especially since there is no flowering, due to it being to early and some are JUST emerging from the soil. I am hoping someone who may be an expert can id them before they even get fully grown. Since I can only put one picture per post, I'll have to post multiple questions.

This plant is popping up in the garden that was already here (we moved in a month ago). They are growing in pebbles, up against a raised garden bed.

Thank you!

Kaliaman, is there a purpose for growing iris in a vegetable garden? because that's where they are! Why would the previous owners plant iris in a veggie garden? I'm stumped.

Hostared...Thanks for the ID. I looked up Lysimachia Ciliata and it is the purple leaf variety - the invasive Loosestrife. The nice thing is that it blooms for a long time, but is definitely invasive. The second one is definitely a weed and it was there last year, but I had pulled them all and thought they were "history." I was wrong and now they have taken over alot of space in one garden. There is no scent to the leaves. Guess it's time to get out and dig. Thanks for ID's. Duluthinbloom - I checked on White Campion, and the flowers are too tiny on my plant/weeds.

It looks like fig to me also. I get them all the time here. The stem a definitely fig-like. Mulberry has a brown, woody stem even from a young age like this. Figs have a green, succulent-like stem that becomes woody with age. I would rule out liquidambar also because liquidambar has glossy leaves that are pointed, not rounded like these.

Oh dear! I was hoping that it wasn't the air potato because I've heard how invasive they were. Now the real battle begins...trying to rid my yard of them. Thanks again to u both!

There's no rule saying you can't mix vegetables and ornamentals in the same garden. Furthermore, some gardeners line out ornamentals in the vegetable garden while they bulk up or until space becomes available elsewhere. Providing each has sufficient space and ornamentals do not interfere with cultivation and harvesting there is no problem.

I love Iris, you have a large group there, you can easily separate some out and plant in other places.
