I think the first one is this: http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/comco.htm But it says it's an annual and I didn't plant that. (the flowers were gone today but I have seen them) The second one, is that a tree that's starting or what? Attachments:   |

that's also what I was thinking and I didn't have the heart to rip it out but it can't stay there. I was thinking that I could use a tree in this one corner of my yard. hmmm |

Hi Deirdre, I think you're right. I'm pretty sure that is Asiatic Dayflower. It comes up every year here as well. It's not unusual to find Maple saplings all over the place. Around here the seeds are called whirligigs and they look like a seed with a papery feather on the end of it. They twirl in the wind and land everywhere.

Oh now if that would happen with a Japanese maple like my neighbor has...ooooo. I can't make seeds grow on purpose but not on purpose...sheesh! lol |

The first is Asiatic Dayflower- they are blue. They can really take over, so I would pull them out. Leave one or two though- the bugs like them  The second looks like a red maple, or it could be a Norway maple. I'm forever pulling those little seedlings out of my gardens. In the spring it looks like it's snowing with all the whirlygigs! |

Yes that first plant is a traveler. Some call it the wild version of a wandering jew plant. I have them and do pull them out because they just grow so fast. Linda B |

I agree with everybody else-that's Asiatic dayflower in the first picture. I have 2-3 little patches of it that never gets any bigger, my soil must be the pits, I can't even get invasives to spread! LOL The tree is a maple, it could be a silver, or my dad just called them yellow maples, it looks just like several that I planted in my yard. I planted 3 of them around 10 years ago that were about a foot high, now one is around 30 feet tall, towers over the house. The other two got broken off, but sprouted back out, and they are probably 20 feet tall. I love 'em, cause they grow fast! |

lol. Well I ripped it all out yesterday. I'm going to mulch that whole bed. It didn't work out for me except for the tulips and the daffs. I've had *no* luck with seeds at all. Going to retry next year for sure. |
