I am new to texas and trying to find out the name of this plant. It looks like a small onion plant with yellow flowers. I was told that it was a native plant but that is all I know.

Thanks, Roberta

I think it is Scrophularia, perhaps lanceolata.

That second one looks like it could be one of the deciduous hollies before the flowers open? My Ilex verticillata flowers are just opening now. The other two I'm not sure (gosh that first one looks like a weed even to me!). If no one else knows I'll send the link to some of the folks that I know work there.

Funny, the flowers look something like what she planted last year but the foliage I have growing is nothing like the pic! I have buds on a few plants so maybe by weeks end I will have a flower I can take a picture of. thanks.

esh_ga, Thank you for the help on the id of the plant, it looks like it is indeed Verbascum blattaria, and a wonderful hitchhiker that found it's way to my garden. Also, sorry about the first url, with the need to download, my OS is linux and sometimes forget that others are hesitant to download files from other places.

When did/does it bloom? What does the flower look like. How tall is the plant?

Is it a cluster of 6 petaled flowers rising from the onionlike growth. Thats crow-poison I think. If its just one 1-2 inch 6 petaled flower then it might be a copper lily

Thanks for the help. I wish I had the camera but hubby has it and I don't think to take it when I go to the library where I've seen them growing. Maybe I should say they look more like chives with yellow flowers.
