hello again Can you be absolutely amazing and ID this plant from the picture. I gave my sis some seeds but she lost the name card. I do not remember giving her weld seeds but perhaps I mixed up the packages by an accident. I did have some weld seeds but that is not something she would have wanted to grow. thanks as always Gail Hall
Looks like Centaurea macrocephala. A listed noxious weed in Washington. But: what's the one to the left doing? Is that a sibling? One that bloomed already? The other species looks like this: reseda luteola - Bing images
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseda_luteola hello and thank you from your link......this plant is weld or dyers rocket...it dyes fabric a bright yellow your answer looks to be correct the centaurea macrocephala seems to be a type of napweed. I know it well. I Did not have these seeds to give my sis I was given the weld plant seeds and plan to grow them for dying fabric and paper . this pic is the 1 st year of its biennial life. thank you now i can let my sister know what to expect next spring summer when it shoots up some 3 feet or more.
