A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Name this flower......In bloom today .

I lost the name of this and it was grown from seeds. Bloomed all summer an fall an is still doing great.
It has seeds all over germinating in november......
It isn't a mum, I was leaning toward daisy family??????



thanks for lookin .......

are you sure it is not some variety of mum, Barb?

It's leaves sure look like they might be mum leaves.....

it is a nice picture though

If I was sure I would not ask. It is a tall about 2 ft.
Single stem at the bottom .

???????

while I had a lot of mums out at the farm, I only 1 white one.

But it sure looks like a mum to me. and a nice one at that.

and with rare exception the stem would go all the way down.

Does a mum bloom all summer fall, and reseed itself from seeds?

It is growing babies all around it .

Some mums do just that, Barb. It looks like a mum to me too.

Thats news to me......

It had a different name than mum on the seeds.. It was given to me in a swap.
My mums are bronze and only multiply from cuttings.....

Whatever it is , I had single and double.. Single blooms looked just like daisys. ???????

b

I too, thought the leaves had a mum look. Another test would be smell........mums have a very distincitive smell.

Mums bloom in the fall.My others do
These bloom all summer..

Yes same leaves they turn into a large bush type thing, not stiff.

daaaaaaaaaaaaa

Barb--it could be the "name" or "variey" of the mum was on the package instead of it actually saying mum

and it might of said "Chrysanthamum" which is the flowers total name.

Nope ......cause I would remember the name..
All I see online is white mum and they are hugher.. This is the size of a nickel.

b

well it could be a different variety.

Valarie gave me some yellow mums that were between the size of as dime and a nickle. So there are all different varieties.

it would be so nice if someone who knew flowers better would see this and give us some knowledgable input. My curiosity is now aroused.

I believe it is a mum too,, Mums come in many many ways,, very small to very large,, spoon petals to double petal,, My neighbor has some that bloom from late summer into late fall and self seed,, her's are the size of a nickle to 3 inches across,, I have some that are reblooming now that are spoon petaled,, leaves look like yours too,, Some Mums do continue to bloom or stop blooming in the summer heat and rebloom in the fall like mine are doing,Like I mentioned before there are soooooo many varieties of mum,, Maybe the name that was on the package in the seed swap was just the name of the particular mum and the word mum wasn't written

Thanks Diane. I said that about the giftee earlier in one of my posts. the person likley just put the name of the variety on the package.

dodge do you remember the person you swapped the seeds with?? Hopefully they would remember your flower's name.

Here is the mum leaf on the left and the other on the right .
You go figure....

I thought mum too until I see the leaves that way Barb. I guess it could be a different variety. I would like to see if anybody knows for sure.

Barb has discovered a new species- latin name is dodgeous florensius.

My 2 cent's say a mum to but who am I

Thats close enough....
dodgeous florensius.......


AN anyways I am Grand Mum.......

Good One Dodge

Off breed marigold????

Well it grew an grew just like pinocho nose. I liked it .

Haha, you guys are too funny.

IF I HAD REMEMBERED THE PERSON WHO SWAPPED ME THE seeds, I WOULD NOT BE ON HERE ASKING...........DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Could it be a zinnia?? Zinnias bloom a lot! My Aunt had some green/white ones last summer. That foliage in the picture does look "Mummy" though.

iT WAS DOUBLE.. i HAD 2 types.. SIngles and doubles.. I started seeds from it again........
Easy grower.
