That is where I got my beautiful yarrow!! Love it Anna.
Plants of RUs past
Frogfruit from Josephine. I have it planted under the eaves at the back of my house. It holds the mulch down splendidly. I love this plant, it thrives on too much water, just enough water, or no water at all.
I have gotten so many plants at RUs over the years, and no matter who the plants are from, they are always extremely healthy.

Don't think any pics but your Datura showed up Lynea!!!
I'm loving seeing all these. It makes me smile. I'm going to go take some pics of more plants that I got from RUs too. BBL
Phlox from last fall RU. I think this is John Fannick :/ It was nice and full until our recent hail storms :(
Nepeta 'Walkers Low, this was a tiny start last spring. Man this grew well :), even with the cats in it.
Nepeta from MGF last year. The cats fight over this one too :)
The garlic chives I got from Cheryl are going great guns as well.
I have some of that Nepeta. I should try to root some.
It roots super easily.
One of the plants I got at Fall 2009 round up was this coneflower. Love it. Want more.
I love coneflowers too, one of my favorites.
Sheila gave me the seed for this cute little flower but at the time she could not remember the name of it. The flowers are a little smaller than a dime. So cute.
Would still like to know the name of it.
I can't find the thread right now where we talked about the seed we received in the native plant seed exchange. So I'm going to post here since I received this seed from a DG member.
I had really great success with the Datura Jimson Weed. One of my seedlings is going to bloom any night now, I think.
Sheila still doesn't know what thaty plant was. I bought it as a hanging basket and it bloomed it's head off all summer. I have put a few in a basket this year, but sure looks like it took off for you in the bed.
Here is the picture of it as a basket. Anyone venture a guess?
It kind of looks like sheleton leaf golden eye, but the plant seems too small, to be it.
I got this from Dennis at the end of last Fall's RU but not sure what it is.
Sheila, I've purchased that lovely yellow plant at North Haven Gardens and it's reseeded itself around my flowerbeds .... but heck if I can remember what they call it.

Michael...looks like that may be a brugmasia to me. Here is what mine looked like when it first came back in early spring.

catz, thats phlox pilosa. Does the little yellow plant have a very strong smell? It looks like a plant they sell as an annual that reseeds.
Moss verbena from a past RU, no idea who gave it to me but I now have several bunches and I love it.
Hmmm... that plant doesn't look familiar to me. Are you sure I gave it to you? Maybe I passed it along from someone else who gave it to me? At the end of the day, things get a bit desperate!
Is this the same as the little yellow plant?
Yup as I was loading the last plants into my car you asked if I wanted it and I said sure. It was in a 4 inch square black plastic pot and I kept it indoors all winter under a grow light. Right now have it out back but I don't know what it is or how to raise it. I have looked for it online but no luck.
The moss verbena is pretty Cheryl. The yellow flower doesn't have too much of a smell, and yes the last picture looks like the same one. As for the brug...kenboy in Jacksonville can tell you all about that one.
Maybe it was just left on a table and Dennis simply asked if I wanted it. I have it and can figure out where to bury it in the silt.
Re: The Little Yellow Flower - For now, I'm going to assume it is the Skelton-leaf golden eye but mine doesn't quite match what I read in Plant Files. Maybe it needs more water and also the soil in my new beds is probably not alkaline. Whatever, I love the little things. They start blooming just about as soon as they hit the top of the ground !!! I'm going to start more.
No Glenna its not, trust me. Size, leaf etc is wrong. I actually looked that up a few years ago and am trying to find the thread I started about its ID.
Dyssodia tenuiloba or Dahlberg daisy. Pretty sure that is the little yellow annual. I think they have a very strong smell when brushed and especially when stepped on or crushed.
You are definitely right, Cheryl. That is it. Mystery solved. I have not noticed a smell, though. But with this constant wind, probably diffuses it.
Thanks.
I think Cheryl has it right, but I coudn't find dyssodia at the wildflower site, I need to look some more.
I am not sure it is native, I think its similar to a common road side "weed"/wildflower.
It's name actually starts with a T Josephine. That is the name in the trade.
I think this is it. I haven't looked on NPIN yet.
Thymophylla tenuiloba

They list it as a native annual and I think the little ones they sell are not exactly the same, maybe a variety or even a different species. Mine do well the first part of the year but look really bad the last part of the summer. It's like they bloom themselves out and even if you try to cut back to remove spent flowers they don't recover. They do reseed well though.
