Hi All,
Would anyone know the name of this plant? It is a reseeder, annual. Blooms on the top of the stem. Thanks!

That's a pretty blurred photo but I'd guess Centranthus ruber.

Close but the leaves are wide mid leaf on the photo plant, whereas Centranthus has wider leaves at their base and are more ace-of-card like. Sorry about the photo...it was taken with a cell phone and I was in a hurry.

More suggestions?

This link will help you look after it. They are extremely tough compared to regular ferns. Ask me how I know. ;o) Here is a link that might be useful: Davallia...Rabbit's Foot Fern

They appear to be different varieties to me. All are succulents however. If you search under succulents you may be able to find similar images, but they are all so similar it may be hard to tell the varieties exactly. Here is a link that might be useful: Succulents

Oh, I don't know that gadget. You might have an easier time emailing the pics to your PC, if that's an option for you. You've done it though. GW upload facility can do 1 pic per post, so if you have more than one, it's not your fault or your gadget that you couldn't get 2 at the same time. When I need to put 2 pics, I just post twice. If you get in the habit of putting multiple pics in posts, you can use a 3rd party photo-hosting site to do that.

I have the same in my containers, tried to identify it, seems like hairy bittercress but it never grows in rosettes like I see in google search photos. It seems to stay small, only a few (3-4) leaves per stock, grows upwards and if allowed hundreds of little plants come out in the same container. also the color is a bit lighter green. here are some pictures i just took, it’s like this from spring into fall. definetely some type of weed because nothing seems to stop it. I want to confirm if it’s indeed hairy bittercress and not a look alike plant. thank you

Personally, the foliage reminds me of either a Lychnis or Silene.

Could it be Silene armeria?

Yes, I came back to post that I think it looks like Silene armeria.
Thank you both :)

Sometimes referred to as an annual, sometimes as a perennial...
