I did kind of a silly thing. I ordered a bunch of bulbs from Publishers Clearing House and threw them in the ground out back. I drew myself a little map so I'd know where about they would come up, but I don't have any pictures. Now, something is coming up in some areas of my hard and I don't know if it's a weed or an anemone or what...
Is there a good site that shows what individual flowers are supposed to look like (maybe even at different stages)?
Thanks!

Elexina - I think the best way to approach this is to list the things that you did plant and then try to search for identifications of seedlings for that particular flower/plant. If you were to go and attempt to find something that just depicts "seedlings" in general, you will find that it is far too broad to find what you want.

How many different types of bulbs/tubers did you plant?

The other option is to actually look for a book that may list perennials with pictures of the seedlings, but again, it is going to be a huge process for you.

I'm also curious about when you planted these. Spring flowering bulbs are planted in the Fall...Summer flowering ones are planted in the Spring. Given your location, I am wondering what you planted that would be just coming up now.

Hi, Elexina!

THIS site is pretty nice, unfortunately, it doesn't show images of the plants in their early stages of development.

Personally, I'd wait until you KNOW for
sure what you have, you can always pluck
out the weeds later!

Smile

Hello! Thank you for your answers. I’m sorry it took me forever to get back to you, but I was trying to find my “garden chart.” Now I’ve got it so I can tell you what I planted. Everything has been up for a while but few are actually flowering just yet, and then just the ones that I know, of course.

Let’s start with the things that I know: I have lily of the valley, windflowers, tulips, lilies, forget-me-nots, daffodils, rosemary, and a hyacinth bush. I’m trying to coax a euonymus twig to make something of itself, too. Plus I have some pretty crazy moonflower vines just taking over my fence, and a morning glory vine doing the same thing further down. I’m really proud of the morning glory, especially, though, because it’s just one fragile stem and it was run over by the maniac lawnmower kid shortly after I planted it out there, and it has staged a tremendous comeback.

Now, as for the ones I know I planted but they are just still stems and stalks and have not bloomed yet so I don’t know which are flowers and which might be weeds… Mexican shell, blazing stars, gladiolus (though those stalks have grown wicked high so I’m pretty sure I know which are them), sparaxis, zephyranthes, freesia, and anemone. Those are the ones that I need pictures of.
