| I have several plants that I can’t identify. I have traded a lot, so they may be some perennial that I’m not familiar with or they may be a weed. Can anyone help me identify the following?
The first is the tall yellow thing in the following 2 pictures:
The other two are - I think there are actually 2 plants of the same type here because some of the blooms are pink & some are white. Probably a result of HOS from winter sowing. It’s mostly gone to seed, but you can see a few remaining flowers:
And lastly, this lovely – my guess is Ladybells/Adenophora:
Many thanks to all who respond!

| I'm guessing the first is some type of evening primrose. The second one is Malva moschata. If you don't deadhead it, every one of those seeds will germinate in your garden, in your grass, in the cracks in your walkway... :-( It's pretty when it's in bloom, but I don't find the flowers last long enough to keep it in my garden. I'm tearing all mine out and replacing them, next year, with the annual Lavatera. You may be right about the third one; it might also be a campanula. |

| You are correct on the Lady Bells picture. I found that it is very invasive and unless you have lots of room for it to spread take it out now! It gets about 2, 2 1/2 feet tall and will rebloom farther down the stem if you cut the first spikes off. I really liked the flowers in bouquets so let mine go and am regretting it now. Connie |
