Hattie, have i told you lately that i love you? Thank you for doing so much research! I feel very helped! I can't look at the research right now since i'm expecting company, but i did have a few minutes to take leaf pictures. Here you go! Hope this helps. The leaves are very...

5 years later, i'm back. possibly it is Asteraceae Hieracium gronovii L., queendevil hawkweed . though it's not an exact match, but it's as close as i could come. thanks to y'all i am accidentally learning how to do better searches on the usda website to narrow down what i'm looking for...

Don't worry. I have no intention of hurting it. But i want to know what it is so i can find out about herbal benefits. It has such an amazing smell, and the closed, dandelion looking buds make me want to eat it. :lol: Thanks for the link. I'll be back in 5 years and let you know which one...

I'm afraid of that rabbit. :th

Thank you, Lavender, for being helpful. ;) I searched all Silphium species on the USDA website and looked at all the species that grow in Texas, and none of them match. I'm assuming that the leaf in the description should be the same even if the flower is slightly different from place to...

I never log out. I'm just always here, so you have to guess.

Orloff, Your inbox is full, and your seeds are in the mail. :D

No, i wanted it once someone convinced me it was a grapefruit tree. I like citrus. I just needed to move it to a different place if it is to survive construction and whatnot long term.

There are no leaves growing from the middle trunk. All of the shoots are growing from the part you said is no good. :/

Y'all are the best! :smack Did i post too late in the day to catch y'all sober? ;)

i know. but y'all are no help. :) I am clearly going to have to become an herbalist or a botanist or something and create my own website for identifying this stuff. I have looked at so many pictures, and i can't find this stuff that just spontaneously grows in my ditch!

In that picture of the trunk, that's the part we didn't cut down. I'm guessing 1 1/2 to 2 feet from the ground is where it was cut.

:hit

:D beefy always gets it right.

Is there a specific flower called 'wildflower?' Or are you just steering me away from asters?

anyone know how to make your own vodka? j/k

This plant is growing in a creek bed, and it's about 6 feet tall now (ish). When you rub your fingers on the stem they smell like Vick's Vapor Rub. It has a very distinct smell. I've looked on the LBJ search, and i've looked for yellow asters, which didn't match. Anyone recognize this?

I wanted to see what you're talking about, so i took these pictures of the trunk. So here's my guess. That brown part in the middle is the only part that doesn't have shoots coming off of it. So likely the shoots that are coming off of it are from root stock that i don't want....possibly that...

yeah, me too, Joe. :hugs

I'm not an expert, by any stretch, but i do know that local chill hours can be the difference between a great peach tree and a wasted piece of real estate. The elegant lady requires 350-450 chill hours (or so i googled), so make sure your area fits. Way to go on $10 fruit trees! I hope they...
