    I like to garden, but sadly I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. I have a few plants in my garden and I'd like to put some names to faces please! It would be great if someone could point out if my prized plants are, in fact, weeds...
    Any helpful suggestions about the plants would be awesome too!

    Please and thank you!

    1 Could it be a lily of some kind?
    2 Sunflower?
    3 Can't really see leaves. Geranium?
    4 Fuscia
    5 Oxalis of some kind?
    6 Willowherb (you'd be advised to get rid before it takes over)
    9 It's really familiar, but I don't know the name
    13 Looks like brocolli to me.

    5 = Oxalis
    10 = Ajuga reptans
    12 = sedum (I think)..maybe Sedum spectabile
    13 looks like a Brassica... broccoli or similar..

    I can't believe there's a sunflower growing in the garden! I had no idea! I'm such an idiot... How the heck did it get there?!:D
    I'll take more pictures of the other ones so you can see them better... Tomorrow. It's got dark out, and my phone has no flash.
    Thanks so much! Now to google these plants and see what the heck I'm to do with them!:cool:

    The sunflower seeds in bird food will germinate quite happily.
