Flower ID -- pic

15 years ago

Here is an interesting flower that several of us are having a hard time identifying. It's a volunteer. The foliage looks like something in the dill family and the flower like a passion flower. It is growing in North Carolina. It's about two feet high.

That's a Nigella, probably Nigella damascena, AKA Love-in-a-mist. An annual that can self sow a lot!

Looks like Veronica spicata/spike veronica. I have one growing at the southeast corner of my house in full sun. It's very well-behaved--remains the same size clump each year but comes up and blooms reliably, seems impervious to either wet or drought conditions. Here is a link that might be useful:

It may be too late to encourage new blooms on this plant. Seems that once they form that many seeds, you can't get much more out of them even if you cut them off. Maybe get to it earlier next year? That's some wild mulch!

Most definitely a Gardenia! I see some chlorosis, needs a fertilizer with iron in it like Mir Acid by Miracle Gro.
