A lot of these are the same as suggestions above 1) Maianthemum canadense, Canada Mayflower, probably. 2) Wild Lettuce, maybe 3) Cut Leaved Toothwort, Cardamine concatenata 4) Jewelweed seedlings, Impatiens capensis or pallida 5) Lonicera something, some vining honeysuckle 6) Maybe Teasel 7) Veronica spp 8) Chickweed, maybe Stellaria graminea 9) ?Wild Cucumber Vine? 10)? Waterleaf, Hydrophyllum, need to see the leaves Vicia cracca, Cow Vetch, or something similar. Geranium maculatum, Wild Geranium Buttercups, Ranunculus spp The leaf and flower aren't from the same plant. The leaf is some kind of Potentilla, I think, and the flower is a Hawkweed, probably King Devil, Hieraciujm caespitosum because of the black hairs. Another Geranium, maybe? Wild blue Phlox, Phlox divaricata A sedge, maybe Carex intumescens WW

Is it bad luck to say that I've gone my whole life without seeing a copperhead or any other poisonous snake? (except at the zoo) I know we have them in Missouri and not doubting anyone that's seen one. Maybe I've just been lucky. I spent soooo much time outdoors when I was young. We went hiking in the woods a lot and had cattle so I was around pastures hauling hay and such. Maybe I was just lucky but I'm going to say to Pam not to worry. Poisonous snakes are not very common. But - instinct tells me not to wall through brushy areas around ponds or anything marshy looking. Maybe that's why I've never seen one. lol I do see a lot of garter snakes but they're small and easy to identify so not scary since there are no poisonous snakes with stripes like that. Turtle0soup - I just noticed you're in Georgia. Gardenweb also has a Georgia Gardener forum (you posted in the Ozarks forum). It may be a snake that we don't have here. If you don't get an answer there, you could try the Pest forum or Southern Gardening forum on Gardenweb. Here is a link that might be useful: Georgia Gardener

I removed the seeds from the hips, put them in a ziploc sandwhich bag with moist potting mix, and let that sit in the fridge for three months. Then I spread the mix on top of a quart of potting mix and put outside. I usually time the process so I'm taking them out of the fridge in April or May, but later would be fine too. The rugosa seedlings for the most part have been more vigorous than my rose seedlings; in their first year they grew to 1-2' and as wide. One of my two-year-old Rugosa alba seedlings is now more than 3 x 3'.

First one is definitely Maianthemum dilatatum. It grows wild in my woods in the drier, shady areas. I like it very much. The next three pictures look like Ranunculus acris, Meadow Buttercup. It grows up to about three feet high when not trampled as shown. R. repens, Creeping Buttercup, generally has a fuller leaf, although shade could be influencing that. Both can be a real problem in hardy geranium ground covers. (Ask me how I know that!) The last picture could certainly be digitalis pupurea. Hard to tell with just one sick leaf. It also grows wild here, and for the most part, very enjoyable. The Buttercups and Foxgloves are originally from Europe and have found a happy home in a very remote location in coastal British Columbia, Canada and in my garden. I don't mind the Foxgloves, but weed out the buttercup whenever I see it. Mike
