    Need a little help on identifying three flowers in my garden. I have had them for years

    and lost the tags and cannot for the life of me remember their names..senior moment that

    seems permenant. Here are pictures: number 1, I am guessing is some kind of

    penstemon, but am not sure. Number two completely escapes me. (The one with the

    purple racemes is the one I don't know, not the yellow lysimachia). Number three my

    best guess is some kind of myosotis, but again I am not sure. Any help in identifying

    these guys will be appreciated.

    Yup, #1 is definitely a penstemon, #3 is a myosotis. Not sure about #2. Looks a little like a faded liatris, but not if the leaves in the picture belong to the flower.

    2 has leaves like an Agastache. 3, while in the same family as Myosotis, is another genus, maybe Cynoglossum.

    I thought agastache also, but the leaves have no aroma when crushed....
     
  5. #2 is Teucrium hyrcanicum most likely
