Not C persicifolia. Flowers are not the right shape. There are loads of possibilities since we can't see the height, the habit or the foliage. C latifolia would be one. C trachelium would be another. Be aware that even if these were harvested by the seller from white flowered plants there is no guarantee that all the progeny will have white flowers. You may well end up with a good number of blue flowered plants. There are literally hundreds of species of Campanula, not to mention all the hybrids and cultivars. So when buying seed in future it would be wise to get the full botanical name so you know what you are getting.

"Deadly nightshade" is Atropa belladonna. The most common common name for this species in the US is bittersweet nightshade. Contact with molested foliage gives those who are sensitive (like me) a mild rash. Invasive in the US. Few people would cultivate this on purpose, even though the blooms are pretty. And many of those who like it a first year then end up cussing it in later years because of its' aggressive spread. Agree, it's odor is unpleasant.

One of the weedy evening primrose species, probably Oenothera glazioviana.

been around since the dinosaurs ... mostly because no one has figured out how to kill them ... lol ...

they grow on a runner ... underground stem.. maybe a rhizome ... about a foot deep ...

so even pulling out the vertical part... really doesnt stop them ...

i found .... that repeated applications of round up ... will tame it out on some level ... but its always back ..

Ken, horsetail was one of the first plants to be reported to be RoundUp resistant and that was years ago now. Skip the weedkiller. Won't work and besides who wants to put RoundUp in any place they would be living around anyways?
