A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 What could this be?

Here is something else Dan moved over today and he said it smelled a bit like menthol, like Eucalyptus. It may be a weed, but in case it is something cool, I thought I would post it.



The leaves are a gery/green, long and growing in 3's on a stem. I am thinking it may be some kind of spice?

Triss...
Send that plant to me and I'll inspect it further and let you know what I think it is!

hmmmmm interesting response there Cindy. What are you thinking it could be?

Hard to really tell from that photo...but it looks like it could be hemp.
We have a lot of it growing wild around here, left over from years ago when it was legal to grow for rope and stuff.

Well I dunno if that is good or bad. I will take a pic of it outside today. But is is very low to the ground. Not what I expected it to be for sure. Will get you a better pic.

Triss...
Post those pics you sent me.....

Ok here ya go




Does that help anyone identify this crazy plant that is growing all over my back yard.

I am so glad Cindy said something...I was kinda scared to say it might be hemp. Now that I see the other pics...I think it's something else.

Looks familiar though?????? I'm pretty sure it's a flower and not a weed. Gotta check the books.

G-Mom

That just kinda struck me "funny"...
...a "weed".

Cindy
"Wildwood weed"

I really hope it is a nice flower. Especially since I have so much of it. The one pic of lots of plants is only about 2 feet of space and it is all over about 50+ feet.

...you owe me a beer, Triss.

Here you go

Thanks!

And thank you too


We keep this up we will be drunk soon!

And so what if it was hemp (the troublemaker has to ask)? I mean, would you get fined if ya don't <ehm> weed it out? Seriously, inquiring minds want to know!

I would have just kept mowing it, after sending some to Cindy of course. But if it is a flower, then I will be doing some transplanting.

Maybe Silver King artemisia???

Oh Donna, that is it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Darn and just when I thought I could use my Hibiscus as a cover crop too. Already was spacing out my pots to make room oh well .

I have a little weed that comes round in our so-called grass - that's what it looks like - grass - the wacky tabaccy kind.

Wouldn't doubt somebody threw it in there.

I actually like it and have moved it around a bit - I can never find it when I want to show it to somebody but it does eventually come back in the soil.

I've forgotten what marijuana really looks like when you start a pot of it - I had one once - the kids fed it a half glass of milk and that was the end of it.
