here is another pic

I have a question is there a newbie here that has not posted a bid and does not know anyone here? if there is please dmail me...
Thanks
Robin

ok.. anyone that saw the last pic I posted.. if you look in the center of the photo, against the wall, kinda in a 'corner' you can see one of my Brugs... if you look just to the left, you see 4 tall stalks - this is what were sent to me in my newbie pack labeled 'Painted Daisy'. however,, that dont look like any painted daisy Ive ever seen.. more like a sunflower.. any idea what it might be?

hmm what are they

lol... well, i dunno, was hoping one of you girls could tell me

Don't look like sunflower either. ?????????????????????????????????

I cant see it well can you take it closer?

then what in the heck could it be??? the stalks on it are like 2 inches in diameter now.. the things just keep growing up and up...

I'll see if i got any that are closer

Hollyhocks?

They look like hollyhocks...

My vote is Hollyhock's too.

Think they are black we had some black hollyhock seed...

i cropped it hopefully you can see it a bit better

Those are monsters!!

doestn look like hollyhock to me either really...

i know arejay!! thay are about 4 ft tall and still growing!!! i cant figure out what the heck it is!

no it looks different up close someone knows....was it Al was it you that donated painted Daisey's?

panted daisy doesnt look anything like that... they have leaves that look like asparagus fern.. or dill... these things were definitely mislabeled...lol... but would like to know what it is.. and when might it stop growing and start blooming...lol

Definitley not HH close up. Mystery blooms on the way?

newp.. not a sign of a bloom anywhere... go figure

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see then . . .

looks like it.. but darn, i wish I had some clue as yo when they would stop growing upwards...lol

They're big already and no blooms, I think they are gonna be biguns - lol... Wonder what in the heck they are?

thast why I was thinking it was some sort of sunflower.. is there any other flower that grows in single stalks like that and really tall?

The leaves on the stalk kept me from saying sunflower maybe it a mammoth sunflower like you wanted!!!

Compared to the leaves on my previous post, it looks like it may well be a sunflower of some type, but I can't really tell for sure. And yes, the mammoth ones get really tall.

Al

If Jack shows up you'll know. LOL

Arejay don't forget to close the iris thread. I'm out for the eve. Have a great night and thanks for all the help on the iris auction.

Maybe you have a rogue person planting stuff in your garden. I had that happen once, somebody planted zuchinni right in the middle of my prized petunia patch. What a dumbass joke!

Al

Well I don't believe it is HH or sunflower. Leaves just aren't right for either one of those.
How about a giant WEED?????? LOL Just teasing cue.

LOL Al, that would be a funny prank to pull on someone

unfortunately, I planted these myself.. they came in my newbie pack labeled as Painted Daisy.. clearly, thats not what they are. Someone on the plant ID forum suggested perhaps it was some type of Amaranth?

You have some beautiful flowers Cue....Very nice...

I want you to know, I JUST FOUND YOU GUYS! You ran off and left me. New thread I didn't know about. It will take me a week to catch up. I did see something about Castor beans. I do have a red so red it looks black and a pink one that is quite pretty.Here is the red one close up of the seed pods.Will send one of the pink.

Here is a pink one.

A leaf of the red one.(very bright sun, it actually looks black out there.)

MG bloom.
