Old-fashioned herb called Santolina chamaecyparissus, aka Lavender Cotton. It will sport yellow button-like flowers in a few months. âÂÂ

This plant started growing by itself in my Southern Californian front yard and has been growing robustly in the full sun. Any idea what it is? Image link:

Verbena, Potentilla, Oenothera. Not sure which species.

Hi, I have been studying so many websites looking for info on these seeds... and just happened across this discussion! I have a Zebrina Mallow... as well as another kind I cant think of the name of, and I just discovered both of their stalks just about eaten in half. Needless to say, I have either a varmint out there or a caterpillar with very big teeth. The only reason I say caterpillar is the other day I found one munching on the leaves... one with a very hearty appetite! Anyway, I have removed some dried seedpods and would like to propogate these plants, but since I am new at this... have no idea what I'm doing? Can anyone help? Do I save these seeds in a baggie till spring? Do I plant them now? A special way or just throw them on the ground under the mother plant? Help?? I appreciate any info. Thanks!!
