The first plant is one I grew from seed and it was labelled 'poppy' and planted at the same time my other poppies were planted. Only this looks nothing like a poppy and I have no idea what it could be.

The second plants is something that just popped up in my front border one day. Its leaves looked similar to another plant growing so I left it thinking it had self seeded but then it went wild and came out with these little flowers.

The two plants below are the only two in the greenhouse that aren't labelled. I guess I must have gotten a little sloppy! They're both pretty nondescript in appearance so I understand if they can't be identified.

The first one is yarrow. It is an herb that has medicinal uses and makes some nice tea blends. Used as a poultice it helps heal bruises and small cuts and skin problems. It is also insect repellant. You can put it in your cupboards to keep moths away from your food.


Middle one I don't know. Leaves look kind of like wild geranium, but the flower spike looks nothing like it..

The very bottom ones in the starter cells are some kind of pepper, I don't know if bell pepper or hot pepper.

It's not a great picture of the tall ones in the greenhouse. Possibly sunflower???

Don't know on the seed starts. First is definitely Yarrow, second looks like a Verbena of some sort.

The second plant looks like a possible corydalis.

The plants in the window above the peppers look like possible eggplants, not able to see the leaves well enough to be certain.

The first looks like achillea millefolium or common yarrow. This plant can be invasive.

It is not simple Achillea millefolium... because it is a natural species...
...there is other part of name...
...since I can't see color of flowers... its hard to say which one...

...I have this one...
Achillea millefolium 'rosea', Island Pink Yarrow
