| More and more unknown plants .. I have to keep going for few more threads .. Thanks for your help ..
The irises are in full bloom (also have some Siberian irises that have bloomed and some Japanese that have not.)
These tall plants have popped up in the garden. Don't know what they are .. (sorry the photo is not in the right orientation)
The edge of the garden is this grass/weed ? What is it? Pulling it out will effectively kill it for next season? (sorry the photo is not in the right orientation)
Another plant in the bed .. not widespread .. but dont know what it is
few more of these .. Probably weeding work for me :(
Then on the edge of the property .. here are some other plants .. probably voluntaries .. don't know what they are white flowers

These get nice blue flowers later.
Dont know if these flower or not
This variagated ground cover is popping up from under the ivy. What is it? Will it grow in shade with my veriagated periwinkle?
Another ground cover next to the pachysandras. I like this .. It dies in winter and comes back in spring
And couple of trees at the border .. voluntaries, don't know these either. One flowers, the other doesn't Flowering kind
Non-flowering kind
phew .. now I think most of the plants I wanted to know about are photographed/uploaded/posted in the thread. (There are probably 50 kinds of weed in the lawn that I may/may not seek information about later :) ) |

| 1) Your irises are absolutely lovely. That is what they are supposed to look like. Gorgeous. 2&3) Definitely a weed, though the name is escaping me right now. Since they are so big and tall, hand pulling is your best bet. 4) Also a weed. Could probably be taken care of with some round up. 9) Looks like a hydrangea. Are the blue flowers - do they kinda look like big blue snow balls? If so - that is hydrangea. The color can change due to acidity of the soil. 11) I'm not sure what it is, but it has shown up in my shade garden on it's own. It's been there for 2 years now and hasn't flowered. But I like the visual interest, so I leave it. 13) Looks like some type of apple/crabapple volunteer. Does it make any small fruits in the fall? Though it may still be too young to. |

| 7/8) looks like lilac 10) leucothoe 11)euonymus, maybe 'emerald gaiety'? 12) looks like bishop's weed, aegopodium. this one is actually sold in garden center's though so don't let the name fool you. it is a spreader and gets queen anne's lace-like flowers |

| These threads are so fun for a plant nerd like me! 2&3 Curly dock, a weed with a tap root, so dig out with a tool that is narrow and deep like a dandelion digger. |

| 4 - sorrel is a weed? It's so much better than spinach. We grow it at the end of the garden and make sorrel borsch out of it. Eat it raw as well... has a kind of sour taste. |
|
| There is garden sorrel with large leaves and wild sorrel AKA sheep sorrel with tiny leaves and a serious habit of spreading by underground runners and seed. They may or may not be related (the wild one is Rumex acetosella) but they aren't the same plant at all! |
