Plant identification help

I wasn't sure where to ask this question so thought this as good place as any.
Hopefully someone will be able to direct me to the right place.

Is there a place, either here or elsewhere on the web, where I can post a picture of a plant for members to ID?

I took pictures of several beautiful plants during a visit to a butterfly house and have no idea what they are.
I know that the owner of the place brings many plants back from his travels abroad and they are just as intriguing as his wonderful butterflies.
Other than going back to ask him their ID is there a plant ID forum at DG that I never knew about?

Thanks everyone for any help you can offer.

Terri

Absolutely! Here's the one here at DG...

Thank you Kwanjin, you are a gem :)

Terri

You just made my day! Thank YOU!

:)

Are you up for some ID-ing now?

LOL

Sure! LO I'll do my best. There are others much better at it than I, however. LOL

I know what a dandelion looks like Terri1948, does that count? Hey kwanjin! :-)

Hey, Flowers!!! LOL

Hi Flowers!
LOL, no, Dandelions don't count, neither do Rosebay-Willowherb, Mares tail or Chickweed.
I have plenty of all of them and funnily enough they all go by the same name...'WEED!!' or if you want the fancy Latin name, 'Rampanticus weedapestius' ;)

Hahaha

Terri

ROTFLOL Good one!

Got some nice creeping Charlie if yall want some ROFL

Or bindweed. I still have some of that you can have.

Oh you guys are just TOO generous...but I'm running out of space in my garden and just have to say, 'No' to your kind offers.
:(

LOL, yellow flag irises (pseudocorus) are also becoming a 'Rampanticus weedapestius'. They look lovely when kept under control but leave unatended for a year and they go crazy!!

Flowers...what exactly is 'Creeping Charlie'? Do you have a picture?

Kwanjin...but those bindweed flowers are SO pretty!! and a lot of fun for children to 'pop'.

Yes, the bindweed is very pretty as it drowns everything around it. LOl

Terrii, heard the yellow flag took a lot of water, they would die here for lack of me watering them every day.

Funny you should ask about the creeping charlie, it is a great ground cover where you can't get grass to grow and gets pretty purple blooms in the spring, but most consider it a weed, I call it my yard saver LOL Here is a picture. Shucks must have deleted it, will have to take one and show ya.

Hey kwnajin--
You are still a gem. How's that?

It's great!!! LOL

Nice to know I have already brightened SOMEONE's day LOL

Well that bindweed looks nice to me with all the little flowers LOL Here is a link for the creeping Charlie that may give you more info than just my picture would. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=8&oq=creeping&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADSA_enUS361US363&q=creeping+charlie Maybe we could start a weed thread and post lots of pictures from our yards so people could guess what it is. :-)

Flowers, I love your idea, who's going to be first?

LOLOL

Terri

Me, me, me!!!

hm, I am at a disadvantage on that I don't think it grows around here.

That was when it was about 4" across. Here it is today. Those blocks are 1'.

Now its looking thistle-ey

It was IDed as one but I don't know which. I'm keeping it even though it's tried to kill me a couple of times.

Who's next?

LOL your a nut Kwangin, That thing looks mean, growing up through the pavement and everything! Got a full weekend, but will find some nice ones for ya next week smile giggle snort!

Some things are kind of pretty viewed in a different way than usual.

Is that henbit? I like the flowers.

Yup, too easy!
Wish I still had my extreme close up of corn speedwell flower, very pretty at one inch away.
Another

I wish you did, too. I would love to see that.

Here is a tiny clover-type flower. 1/4"

I just had to look up "sympodial branching."

Ha ha. That came up in a thread about a possible sassafras. Dogwood does it too. Now I know why I can see dogwood branches and just 'know' they are, the branching IS different in form.
There have been some fun threads in ID forum lately.
These cloese ups are fun. If that was really a 2-3 inch flower, it's be a 'perennial,' not a weed.

I agree! LOL

OK you ask for it! You ladies wants weeds, now here are weeds LOL

#1 Poke Salad

#2 Yarrow or some call it Queen Annes Lace I think

This is Spurge trying to take over my shrubs here, its very pretty if growing off to itself

#4 Dandelions anyone :-)

#5 this Daisey is a weed I can live with.

#6 and last, pretty little buttercup weed, see some weeds are pretty! Its the ones that don't bloom I despise :-( Ok showed ya mine now let me see yours LOL

flowers that has to be white yarrow queens anne's lace has taller rounder flowers I let mine reseed every where in my beds for the butterflies I just had someone the other day looking at my flowers and commenting on why I let the 'weed' grow every where lol I'd take a picture but no camera so a link will have to do:

http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/daucuscaro.html

The white yarrow is a shorter plant :) All kinds of good uses for it I like it for my compost pile but they say you can even put it on a wound never thought to try it when I've had one lol

Hi Terri hope your DH is all better now :) I'd love to join in if I knew how to use this camera!
