I was looking at some of my perennials that are coming back and yours sorta maybe looks a little bit like an astilbe? Have you planted any of those? Though I am also leaning towards bleeding heart?

I have some starting to leaf out, and this looks almost the same.

I planted Persian cone flower just today( seeds) it will be interesting if they come up the same! My Mystery plant now has a bud on it,, OMG I went back to the site you directed me too,,, the bud looks exact like the one there,,,, I DIDN"T plant any Persian here,, <( that I'm aware of ) What I planted was seeds sent by either Lynne or Dodge or seeds I got from CH when there,, It will be interesting what color it turns out to be!

I'm leaning more towards Persian Coneflower and in the link Kenny showed,, did you sent me some seeds of that?? "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."

kennyso The Man Joined: May 2006 Posts: 3,540 Ontario, Canada	Yeah! At least now we know it's some sort of cornflower. I'm guessing its probably going to be pink. The blue one (C. montana has 'finer' foliage) or you might be lucky and it'll turn out yellow :) Originally Posted by angelblossom I just planted your seeds yesterday, But the package was open which isn't uncommon because I always look at seeds when I get them,, I HAVE to look at all the seeds that I get even if I don't plan on sowing them.
