I can't ID it for you. But what I do in situations like this is to keep it and see what it does. See if it blooms or whatever. If you start to see many other ones in your yard... it might be invasive... or a weed.

Some weeds are others plants though. It's a tough call. If you like it... keep it. Just keep an eyeball on it to make sure it doesn't choke out any of your other goodies.

Hi Donna

Yes I agree with you, but I want to know the name just to be informed. I really want to keep it because the leaves
are pretty and look what else.

Here is a link that might be useful: my weeds so proud

I'm not sure but pict #4 looks like lakeview or orange jasmine. Lakeview jasmine gets a beautiful small fragrant white flower that when pollinated becomes a small red holly-like berry. If that's so, it's a keeper.

hard to tell from the last pic, but looks like those flowers are hanging down in bells. If so, it's not lakeview jasmine, which holds little star-shaped flowers in small clusters.

If it's Lakeview jasmine, you can smell it from pretty far away and know. It's lovely. But the flowers are mostly fragrant, not showy. (and the birds love those seeds. I have a birds nest in mine each spring.)

Hi Can I call you frompa? Which #4 are you talking about?
The one that is fourth on the page or the one that has the 004 that was given by photobucket and where I have drawn around the flower? Did any of that make any sense to you?

Remember that I'm just a rookie and know next to nothing
about this stuff. So be gentle. I'm so confused.

#004(the one where I drew a circle around the flower)doesn't seem like it, because the flowers are not the same. The flower in my picture hangs upside down
and only has about four or six petals. The new leaves are
sage green and soft and fuzzy. If you are talking about the fourth page on my layout page I know nothing. I wish I had a jasmine like those you speak of.

Thanks
Phyllie

Natives, You are absolutely right. Those are bells. Do you
know the plant? I wish those bells would bloom again.

To post an image just copy the html code and paste it in your post. Your plants/weeds look healthy.

Sharebear I have been putting the html code on url. Is there another place to paste?

Thanks for your comment on the health of my weeds. No one
has ever done that before. Wait til you see them next year.

In PhotoBucket; copy the html code (highlight it and hold down control key on keyboard and hit the C key). Click in the Message box here and paste it (hold down the control key and hit the V key) directly into the Message box.

Then click the Preview Message.

The picture I thought was lakeview jasmine is viewing number 004 of 22. It appears just after the photo that has your circled white flower. It also bears your comment "I hope this is not a weed or invasive." I don't claim to be an expert but I've pulled a branch from my yard to compare and still think it's lakeview jasmine. Index #3. Also looks like lj in corner of index #4.

I am the greatest. Did you see what I did? Thanks to all of you who helped. Sharebeare thanks for the codes. (now if anything goes wrong we'll just blame her.) I have really enjoyed this forum. You guys are so funny, and have
been way patient. I have many more weeds and am looking toward the next tutoring.
Goldenpond this is for you.
