August 26, 2022Q.Name Of Flower
This flower has a cluster of small purple flowers when in bloom, but stem is like a stalk, with long foliage. It is a perrenial. My sis-in-law gave me some, but I have a lot of sun here. Just wondering the name and the zone. Thank you. I am not able to upload a photo at this time.

August 27, 2022A.Without a photo, it's impossible to say for certain what kind of plant it is. It could be any of several flowering perennial plants. Maybe you can ask your sister-in-law or try doing an image search using your description to find the matching image online.

long straight leaves. I cannot seem to upload pictures, so I will send them to you by e-mail. One plant had smooth almost round leaves that are green in the middle and cream colored around the middle design. The other has a big red flower with long green leaves cascading down on all sides. It seems that as the flower grows the lower red petals gradually turn green.

Certified ExpertA.We didn't receive the photos so you may want to take leaf samples to a local nursery for identification.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, it is too desiccated to tell what it is. The best course of action will be to find your local extension service. They can get a better look and have the equipment to figure this out.

Zone 7 - Mashpee, MA on Cape CodQ.Skinny Red Roots In Raised Bed
I had a successful garden in my 2-year-old raised bed and was preparing the soil for this spring's planting. I discovered clumps of skinny red roots at one end of the bed. Some were in matted balls, others were just loose every where. I do have an arborvitae somewhat near that same end of the raised bed. The roots don't seem to be connected to any bush or tree.

Certified ExpertA.This does resemble Arborvitae root systems. If the roots are being exposed, excessively, then you may want to cover them with a little topsoil.

May 26, 2024Q.Looking For A Specific Flower
In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9-lZAiRZGM A little over 3 minutes in there are some birds feeding on some kind of plant. Could you please tell me what kind of plant that is? It's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks. Love your site and channel.

Certified ExpertA.It looks like a variety of agastache foeniculum (anise hyssop) possibly Blue Fortune. I have Blue Fortune and it looks like that when it goes to seed though I haven't seen any birds on it. I do see the goldfinches eating purple coneflower seeds. Agastache and goldenrod are on the list of plant seeds that goldfinches like.

Bh48JFQ.Is It Edible?
Hello. I have a wild plant that is growing in my Garden. It has more leaves/bushier than a German or Roman chamomile. It smells sweeter than chamomile. Big flowers with some flat and some convex middle. They look exactly like chamomile flowers. I cut the flowers in half and there is NO hole/empty middle section. The seeds must have been blown into my garden. It's from late winter growing. I researched and asked a lot of people, and looked at all the suggestions but none of them fitted(scented mayweed, scentless mayweed,southernwood, pheasant's eye, brachyscome,multifida,Yarrow, achillea, false mayweed...) . I'd really love to use it for tea, but I read in the Matricaria family it's easy to mix poisonous with non poisonous plants. I just wanted to ask professionals/experts. Any help is appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.Without being able to inspect it in person, I cannot comfortably give you an ID. I would not advise eating anything without having a %100 positive ID. You can take samples to your local extension service, or the equivalent to ours in the US. They can help you identify the plant in question with some samples, if you take them there. This article is for our own extension services, so you will not be able to search using the form. It may help you to learn how to find resources in your area.
