i see that there has been a recent restructuring here, so please accept my apologies if an identification help request is no longer considered appropriate. in that case, feel free to ignore me. i need help identifying some plants that came with a home i bought late last fall. i want to identify them to ensure proper care, but also so that i can research how they've affected the soil; i want to transplant a fair few of them to make room for an organic veggie garden. i see that the preferred methods for pics are 3-5 at a time, as attachments, so here goes nothing. my apologies that i don't know how to insert thumbnails throughout the body of my post. 1. screenhunter 881 i have received feedback that this is either black eyed susan or coneflower. 2. screenhunter 888 no one has been able to offer a possible identification for this yet. 3. screenhunter 886 this has received a tentative identification as blue-eyed grass. i have an additional shot of this showing more leaf detail if that would be helpful.
thank you! number 2 appears to be a real stumper. the garden has a lot of oriental and specialty plants in it (allium, salvias, weigela, goat's beard, clematis) so i guess that's not too surprising. here are three more: 4. this has been identified by several as a sedum, which i was completely unfamiliar with. any further guidance as to what kind of sedum it is would be excellent. 5. one identification as a perennial geranium has been proposed. 6. i had thought that this must be an herb of some kind, until i googled sedum. i saw some images during that search that potentially match this. it is aromatic when crushed, and it is planted right next to #4.
maybe there'll be more luck with these: 7. a tree in my front yard. in the spring, it looks just like a cherry tree. the current fruits are soft to the touch and fuzzy. i've had one person guess apricot, and one person guess black walnut. 8. a large flowering bush (taller than me - i'd say it's just under six feet). the flowers are aromatic - a very sweet, but light, scent. i'd compare the scent to rose scent, except that in comparison roses seem a bit... musky, or earthy. 9. i'm uncertain if this is a weed, but so far a couple people think that it might be.
