Half an inch wide or so, growing wild in the grass. Central Florida.

A wild Phlox, if I'm correct. Which species I don't know. It doesn't seem to exactly match the ones in my books. It's widespread here in Northeastern Illinois. Though, looking more closely I don't think it's a Phlox, it has 6 petals. It seems too small for a Blue-Eye Grass, it's only about 6" tall.

I've got three that are puzzling me - all from Josephine County, Oregon

This one grows on serpentine. I've seen it on Eight Dollar Mountain and Rough & Ready Botanical Wayside. It's a member of the Polemoniaceae, but which one? The whole plant is less than 3" tall, if that helps.



This one also in serpentine, but in boggy soils - growing next to big groups of Collinsia. The whole flower head is less than 1/2" across.



And this is a Trifolium - I think it's T. howellii, but would like a confirmation. Found on the Limpy Creek Trail.



I appreciate any help you can give me - Thanks!

The top one looks like a lananthus bicolor, True Baby Stars. I am not sure about the others.

Update on my photos - photo #1 is Collomia heterophylla, photo #2 is Plectritis congesta. The jury's still out on photo #3.

Anna - could you provide some locations for the plants you've posted? That would help a lot!

#1 has been identified as Phyla nodiflora, turkey tangle fogfruit

Both of the above pink flowers look an awful lot like Geranium maculatum. I don't know if there are similar species in the West Virginia flora, I'd want to see the leaves of both to know more.

I have absolutely no idea what this is, only i know it's not a blue dick, or sea thrift.

This flower was found along the edge of our woods in PA. I thought the flower looked like an evening primrose but the foliage is all wrong for that.

Can anyone identify?

Mid April in piedmont of North Carolina. Flowers have heath family shape but may not be fully open. Leaves are slightly lobed, three-part palmately compound, and alternate. Later, May 10, there were bunches of very hairy berries (green so far)

jpc.raleigh: I think that may be Rhus aromatica. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

It's funny because I was just walking past some Rhus aromatica yesterday, wondering why I never see it in flower, and curious about what the flowers look like.

For Ter-or. I think Wild Phlox has a more elongated petal with a slight indentation at the tip. I've posted on on my page, or look here for "Wild Blue Phlox". There are lots of varieties, however, and I'm not an expert.

What type of flower is this, i cant figure it out. I took this picture in the foothills of boise idaho.

It's called a Bachelors Button or Cornflower it comes in white, blue, purple, and pink.
Scientific name: (Centaurea cyanus)

I found this in only one spot in the woods, May 25, West Michigan, USA. I can't find it in any of my guides. Flower is about 1.5 inches across. Leaves are more like course grass.

The white flower from Michigan looks like Ornithogalum umbellatum - a.k.a. Star of Bethlehem.

Looks like Star of Jerusalem to me, too.

thank you for any help! :)

Bloomfield/Windsor, Connecticut border (Eastern United States) - open field - full sunlight/no shade - stalk up to 24-30" in height - reddish purple center, 1" diameter resembling garlic bulbs? - long green stems extending from center, varying lengths. Taken on Friday, June 20th, 2008.

Could be Wild Garlic (Allium canadense) or Wild Onion (Allium crispum)?

Allium canadense also called meadow garlic.

Columbine and a button bush.

The blue one is chicory. It is a weed.

The photo was taken in the Wayne National Forest in Ohio.

I would think that krispicker's is Sabatia angularis.

Can an aster bloom in June in northern Vermont?

This flower seems really common in fields and by the roadside in July in the area south of Georgian Bay, Ontario. I can't seem to find it in my guides, and my searches haven't turned up a match. I shall be grateful for help. FOR MORE PICS & DETAIL, please see my photostream. Thanks.

Galactic Dreams - that's Checker Bloom, Sidalcea glaucescens.

thank you so much!

HELP !!

An ID Please

This specimen has me stumped. It is a singular plant growing in dry sandstone soil at an elevation of 2650' in the hills of West Virginia. It appears to be in the primrose family however its petals are much more narrow and sex parts much more pronounced. The bloom is about 2.5" across and the plant is about 12" high.
Would appreciate ID assistance......

This large shrub / small tree grows on my property - woodland setting in area of Ottawa Ontario. It seems to grow up to about 15 feet tall and self-seeds profusely. I have no idea what it is. Help?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gardenkarma/2749491493/]

Looks like European Buckthorn, an alien, invasive species.

This specimen was found in typical pasture soil on our West Virginia farm. The flower mimics chicory to a certain extent, only blooms in sunlight and last just one day. The plant itself is about 12 inches tall with multiple sturdy ridged stems and alternating leaves. There are about 20 buds on each stem. The overview is of one plant.

Does anyone have a clue?

08/11/08 UPDATE

On further examination I believe this is a Double Chicory plant. It has two layers of petals rather than the normal single layer. Of the thousands of chicory plants I have observed this is the first of this variety I have found.

Has anyone else observed a similar specimen?

Received a bouquet of these with no identifying information. They are 1.5-2 inches wide and lovely. We just hope they are not poisonous to cats! Thanks for your opinion!

Answer: begonias. Thanks, intertubes. I love you!

Begonias
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begonia
Toxic plant list for cats
www.cfainc.org/articles/plants-non-toxic.html

so no they are not toxic unless you murder them for chewing on the leaves, which mine do.

Help... the flower has a spiked globe after petals wilt.

Here is close up of flower

is this a buttercup?

Is this a "wild flower"? If so what is it? They grow on the side of the road here in North Alabama.

Bruce, this is probably an avens.

not a cosmos? Cosmos bipinnatus?

The one above the cosmos.

What are these cute little flowers grow along side
Lake Gleneida in Carmel,NY where they get plenty
of sun and little care on 5-27-08?

This flower was growing in an unmowed field in
Brunswick County, Calabash,North Carolina.
6-28-08

the top one is wild geranium.

What plant is this?

I found this in Central Florida, in mid-September, on the edge of an abandoned grassy lot. The individual blossom-lets are very tiny, maybe 1/4 inch or so...

This was taken in Southern Wisconsin in September, in the space between a small cattail marsh and a forest. It looks to me like Swamp Thistle (Cirsium muticum). What do you think?

A gentian in the alpine of Jasper National Park, Alberta.

Please help! I can not ID this flower. I think it is in the
spiranthes genus but it does not exactly match any
of them I have seen. It was found growing in
Friendswood, TX(SE close to the Gulf of Mexico).

Anyone know this one?




Thanks!

This is a really tiny flower close to the ground. I photographed it in macro mode so it looks very large.

Is this White-eyed Grass, Sisyrinchium campestre?

Saveena: I think it is Nothoscordum bivalve.

Darn and I thought I had it! Of course that flower I named grows in Kansas and the one you named grows here in Texas! Thanks so much!

These were all taken 3-6-09 in Houston, TX:

This flower was in Yellowstone National Park. I wasn't able to purchase a good field guide for the area, so I have no way to identify it.

Can anyone help me out?

Myrna

Found at Mt Diablo State Park in Northern California. Growing on the Eastern side of the summit at about 3600ft. Only a 2 to 4 inches in height and in rocky soil.

These little flowers are popping up in low areas at the woods edges. I don't think it's Star of Bethlehem, it's too small, not all white and too early. I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, in the Fox River basin.

taken April 10 in Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL. It is no bigger than 2" tall. Sorry we can't see the number of petals, and I don't see any leaves. The green leaf on the lower right is from another plant. Interestingly, the stems are "hairy".
Thanks!

These flowers are growing prolifically along the stream bed of the Darby Creek near Columbus, Ohio. About 18 inches tall, marginal plant, 4? petals... Could anyone help me identify them? I thought they might be some kind of orchid or iris but I really have no clue what they are...

archangela7's plant is Justicia americana.

Found in SW Utah desert, about 6 inch tall; the flowers cluster is about 2 inches in diameter.

Found this in Northern Michigan (Lower Peninsula) in very late July. Any idea what kind it is?

It was a very tiny flower, it could have fit on my fingernail, easily!

This flower was growing out at Cape Spencer, outside Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.

The flower is approx. 1 inch across, it has fern-like leaves and is herbaceous.

Can't find it in Audubon's book of wildflowers.
