A few more mystery flowers that I could use some help with: The top first one might be forget-me-not although I have doubts. The bottom first one is about a foot high growing on a wire-like stalk in clump formation with others- not cosmos. The top second one look like holly hocks but are short- just under 2 feet- but growing in constant shade.. Below that is a huge clump of what looks like popcorn on grass. The third one, both top and bottom, are daisy like with seeds that look like flattened tomato seeds. From a seed pack and also in yellow.
Bottom row 1. Looks like Catananche. Common name Cupid's dart. Possibly one called Catananche caerulea bicolor. http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=Ca...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1247&bih=528
#3 top and bottom remind me of the African Daisies, maybe Arctotis or Venidium. #2 bottom row: do you have flower closeups for it? From that distance it could be one of a dozen things.
#2 bottom row (middle) strongly resembles Anaphalis margaritacea, AKA Pearly Everlasting. Run a google image search and compare...
Silver surfer: thank you, I believe you are correct with Catananche. Lorax: they might be African Daisys...still confirming. woodschmoe: not sure about early everlasting...
I agree with Lorax, which is why I did not try to id them. Pic taken too far away. It is would be really helpful if future if you restrict your plants to a fewer number, but show a general shot and a good close up of the flowers. Sometimes a leaf may be needed for id as well. Bottom row,middle. Looks like Achillea ptarmica The Pearl. Comon name sneezewort. http://www.jekkasherbfarm.com/details.asp?productid=7
I did not think 5 plants would be too burdensome for a site of this reputation. Not like it's my original post to this site http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=31710 which foolishly contained 50+ questions. lol If, however, only 1 person is attempting to answer all the questions then you may have a point. Some pictures of flowers were taken in haste due to time shortage and it is unlikely I can do better as things are going to seed fast and they're not on my property. I will try to get a better shot of the popcorn one if possible.
Alright...Scratch Pearly Everlasting, consider Achillea as per silver surfer's suggestion, it seems a better match. Regarding the number of photos: 5 is nothing compared to what you'll find in the archives. Nobody is forced to ID if they don't want to; don't sweat it.
I'd only mention that in the future it would be far easier for us if they weren't double-stacked this way - single images are easier to enlarge to see the fine detail often needed for a solid ID. Then heck, sure, post 50 if you want, but don't be surprised when the answers you get are confusing....
