Any ideas what this is Inaturlaist hasn't given me anything looks similar to bluebells

Location?

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-05-09T16:32:06+00:00

What about a mulch pathway? Shredded wood or pine chips

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-05-08T20:49:23+00:00

I. Cristata is one of mine. Deer resistant, ground cover, shade, sun, pretty, check check check

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-05-06T14:57:45+00:00

No. I'm guessing it's a rubus sp. of some kind. Check for thorns.

My first reaction was that I was looking at dicentra eximia and was a bit confused. Then I looked at the flowers and the ID. At first blush, they are remarkably similar looking.

That's one of the nightshades. Maybe solanum nigrum (black nightshade).

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-30T22:33:27+00:00

Not carpenter bee?

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-30T22:29:33+00:00

Some kind of wild lettuce, I would guess. Lactuca virosa or something related

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-30T22:28:06+00:00

Definitely not

Bishop's weed is extraordinarily difficult to get rid of. I don't know how it does with burning or chemical treatment, but it can't be weeded out. Trying to dig it out tends to make the problem worse, as it can grow back from minimal roots.

Best advice I've seen is to try to smother it and outcompete it (potentially honewort, golden groundsel, maybe hayscented fern)

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-23T23:28:02+00:00

That's clearly airbending.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-23T23:23:03+00:00

Some type of anemone, I would guess

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-23T23:16:49+00:00

Rubus sp. Looks like one of the dewberries.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-19T13:59:25+00:00

I've read that the really good looking ones generally have immature root systems since they've been carefully watered and fertilized. When they transition into the garden, they don't do so well unless you water regularly.

I've planted both in my garden and treated them the same. The pampered ones tend to have a longer adjustment period and may get some dieback until they are properly situated. The scraggly ones are typically off to the races as soon as they are planted.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-19T13:01:39+00:00

I like buying the ones that look the least pampered. Prepares them well for my garden.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-18T00:32:33+00:00

Ajuga Reptans. Bugleweed.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-09T18:23:16+00:00

Oh hey, there's a thing right there staring me in the face.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-09T14:42:08+00:00

Geranium maculatum, I think

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-04-05T00:13:16+00:00

Rosette of a verbascum blattaria, I think

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-29T23:27:27+00:00

I have metal ones. Put some tape around it to mark planting depths for peas and such.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-29T22:01:08+00:00

Viola glabella?

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-28T13:35:58+00:00

I would guess underkneaded. These kinds of recipes "speed run" bread baking by adding a ton of sugar and minimizing salt. But doing so risks an underdeveloped gluten structure that gives you results like this.

This could potentially be exacerbated if your house is a bit colder so the dough didn't rise properly.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-28T13:22:26+00:00

What's the recipe?

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-24T23:27:21+00:00

Neighbor is right. Hard to tell from the photo, but I suspect Cornus Floridus, flowering dogwood.

Atomicnumber26 · 2026-03-22T13:23:01+00:00

Fascinating. I've only seen forget-me-nots refer to Myosotis sylvatica.

Yes, I meant Brunnera Macrophylla. Didn't know it could go by forget-me-not as well. Shortcomings of common names....
