First one maybe Pennsylvania Smartweed (Polygonum pennsylvanicum)

Second one Brown Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba)

Hope this helps!

I'd also say the second one looks like rudbeckia triloba. Does it have an orange ring around the center, though? Mine don't have that.

The first one has leaves like a phlox, but not the buds/bloom. It does look like a polygonum of some sort perhaps.

Can you help me identify two of my roses?

Yes, please, more photos. Only c. 25% of the identification process is completed by the bloom alone, the leaves, prickles, and growth habit tells much more. photos of - an18 inch length of a cane, showing foliage and prickles -the entire bush, to show growth habit with a ruler by both to show size would be very helpful. There are more than 7 thousand different types of rose, so getting an I.d from photos of blooms is unlikely unless they are one of the very most common types of rose, such 'Iceberg; or 'Knock Out' Thanks for posting photos of your roses, they are very pretty.

Sorry I don't know what they are, and I hope you will find their names. Post again later maybe somebody will recognize. Do you remember where you got them, maybe you can look at that website. I like the second one. Reminds me of one Petit's I had, but it's not it.

Can you help ID these two hostas?

SwanLake, whatever you do, please do not cut off the leaves. The plant needs them to sustain itself. I would suggest that you lay the pot on its side, straighten and gather the leaves, use masking tape to tape all around as close to the leaf blade as possible. Insert a bamboo stick, or a small branch...anything to keep the bound leaves as erect as possible. Pull them together just tight enough without cutting into the petioles/stems. The plant has gone through stress, its water supply has been disrupted when dug up which is why they are drooping. Water it well. It will perk up in a few days. The tape will fall off by itself once the plant is perky again. I think Ken said the tape should fall off in about a week or so. All that said, that is a well-grown and pretty pristine Undulata ... I don't see any holes from slugs/snails at all :-) Jo P.S. Here is a link - a thread of Ken's that explains the tape theory. Good pic and info showing how to tape, etc. Here is a link that might be useful: How to move a leafed out hosta This post was edited by josephines67 on Sun, Aug 24, 14 at 17:11

Triloba baby! Enjoy.

The first one I agree looks like a polysometing, but could be a weedy one.

The first plant could be long-bristled Smartweed that we see dancing on the weed commercials. Click on the plant identification to see if the plant matches the description.

Oh, thank you!!! I was going to save the seeds of the rudbeckia, but I wanted to have the right name! I have loved this plant this year. It has stayed in bloom all summer it seems like.

Dee, it is two toned. I love that look.

It sounds like the polygonum id is unanimous as well. I'll yank it! I had never seen it before. The section where it showed up I have had so much problem with. I should have known if it was thriving it was a weed! :)

Lisa, that two-color thing is very nice! I wish I had that going on. I meant to say also that that is a nice-looking, big healthy plant!
