1.) Can someone confirm this as wild ginger? 2.) Can someone confirm this as a member of the nightshade family? 3.) A wildflower from Carnation/Pinks family? Those are my guesses, but I have been way off before! Thank you!
I do think you're wrong on all three but don't necessarily have the alternatives. I'd go with a mallow for the first picture maybe.
Photo #1: Thank you! Your suggestion of mallow helped me find the following link http://www.turf.uiuc.edu/weed_web/lookalikes/groundivy_mallow_violet.htm which leads me to suspect it is common mallow, the weed. However, unlike common mallow which apparently has round stems, this has triangular stems. Any insight? Or am I mistaken? Leaves are hairy. Underneath of leaves point to common mallow over ground ivy. Photo #3: Lychnis chalcedonica, that's it! Thank you! I suspected it might be from the Caryophyllaceae/carnation family, as I seem to have so many from that order this year, especially various silenes! ... Much appreciated!
Thank you! You've solved more than one mystery: Every July I get a rash from something outside but I was always doubtful it was from poison ivy. I had a rash couple weeks ago, and come to think of it, I had trimmed daisies at that time. If you look at the photo, there is a daisy plant that grows near that very stinging nettle. Wow, much again, this identification service is so helpful! Thank you to all who take the time to respond!
#3 ... Umm, are you sure? It doesn't smell like garlic (smells a little sweet, almost like cut grass). It's sitting right on top of some daisy leaves which might be misleading. If you are certain, can you provide a link because it doesn't look like links I'm hooking up with. Thank you!
not number three....I am saying number one is garlic mustard. (the round leaves) a biennial invasive.
I'd never heard of garlic mustard so googled it... and it seems the leaf would have to have a point on it, while these look entirely round.
Well, I checked my mallow out in the alley and it has round stems, not triangular, and it also has a small dark blotch where the stem joins the leaf. Those items would seem to rule out mallow. And garlic mustard doesn't sound like the sort of thing you want to inadvertently let grow.
