Two weeds(?) for ID, please

10 years ago

Weed 1 looks for all the world like a dahlia when it first germinates. They're about 4" high in these pictures.

The scent of Weed 2's foliage is reminiscent of carrots.

Any ideas anyone? Thank you!

I grow Schick hybrids, most are not as tall as that one, and darker green, though the spines and ribs seem the same, and the Schick hybrids do have all of the species in them that is mentioned above, including Rebutia. Well not quiet all of them. And they can be figured out by the flower, if you have the flower chart in color to do so. Keep your labels make duplicate copies of them, and put one in the bottom of the pot. Not all of them look alike, some hardly have any spines, and others have long ones, Bob Schick used to tell them apart by looking at them. Sorry for such a long post, Echinopsis are grown just like any other cactus and need the same care, for flowering give them a low 0-20-10 fertilizer approx. The middle number must be higher, the first number very low. No water in the Winter, they must have the chill and dormant periods to flower. They are extremely hardy, will flower 6 mo. at least of the year from the end of April to the end of Sept. depending on you climate, light where you grow them, feeding. May open 4 nights depending on light. Norma

Thanks on the ID of the first one. I further IDed it to Cyperus Retrorsus The second Is very hearty. The stem resembles a twig, and it takes quite a bit of force to pull that tap root out of the ground. Could it be some type of wild shrub? Edit: Found this vacant lot with 3 foot tall versions of this stuff... Check the links and pics This post was edited by kb850 on Sat, May 11, 13 at 17:50

horster, thanks much, that sure does look a lot like BI especially the one in the bg of your photo with dimples. Mine could be a slight variation of that. I can read up on that, don't know if people have grown it deliberately in the past or what, at least heard of it. Also have the good old senior moment, the kind with 5 leaves, pretty much on top of that, too. Virginia creeper? Very common stuff that. What the heck don't I have? Thistles for one, probably others. Dug them all out. Those darn ditch lilies are a pest, too, and I'm finding seedlings I'm sure is that, at least not any of my regular daylilies, am pulling that, but don't know how I'll ever be rid of that stuff either. This year I'm cutting off the pods, but there will be more anyway.

1. Is a Polygonum. P aviculare is similar and very common but I don't know which species might be likely in your area. 2. Is member of the Fabaceae. But without flowers it's a tough id. There are a few with similar leaves.

Many, many thanks for the weed #2 ID. I see it's listed as noxious 10 miles south of us, so I went out and "transplanted" it into the wood stove.

Hopefully, weed #1 isn't as bad!

First one might be Erigeron annuus.

I think the first one looks like an aster, I know they are the same family as erigeron, but I still think it looks more like an annual aster.

Oh, dear. That was the hint I needed. I do believe Calistephus chinensis. I grew them a number of years ago and never saw them again. The seeds must have sat in the soil just waiting for the right conditions. Kind of wish I hadn't pulled so many of them, lol. Thank you everyone!

Calistephus chinensis was my thought as well.

I'll stop calling them weeds -- and stop yanking them -- and see what flower they become. Thanks again everyone!

I'm on the side of the China Aster people - that was my immediate thought. But I've never seen the Erigeron mentioned.

It looks to me like Erigeron annuus, both based on the leaves and on the number of them which you have. It is a problem weed in my garden. If when yours blooms it looks like a fleabane, remove the flower heads ASAP and put them the trash and then remove all the plants. You don't want to let this go to seed!

Weed #1 grew into the 'Lilliput Blue Moon' from some years ago. I'll certainly keep an eye out for Erigeron annuus, though. Thank you to everyone again for the help with identifying these.

Thanks for coming back to us mrs b. It's always nice to know how the story ends. It's even nicer finding out you were right... ;-)

Now what's that plant between the China Aster and the Tagetes?

Thank you flora.

The plant is a very puny, two-year-old (seed-grown) Hibiscus moscheutos. It's obviously unhappy in that bed. Its happier mates are four to five feet tall and looking like this right now.
