post an unknown plant and see if others can provide a name
I planted this as "Silene jenisseensis", but while this plant is supposed to form a hard dome, my did not and was stoloniferous to boot... I pulled it out this spring (and sprigs are still coming up here and there). It blooms in late summer here. Foliage got to about 4" tall, reddish on emergence in spring. Any idea what it actually is?
This is from a Norwegian forum.
Do anybody know what this is?

I was going to put this under "Woodlanders", but since this plant is so ubiquitously misidentified and sold under the completely wrong name, I thought I'd put it under the Plant Identification area.
These photos were sent to me by a friend who took them in northern NJ. The plant is 18"tall+- at the edge of a clearing, mesic woods, flowers 1/2", very aromatic. He's visited the plant several times and it seems to be the only one of its kind in the area. The recent intense heat might have done-in the later buds. Flowers open from bottom to top of stalk, and the upper ones are shriveling without opening. Flowers are visited by many small insects.
Mark - or anyone else with an onion fetish oops, I mean a deep and encompassing knowledge of the genus Allium ;D ;) - could you please tell me what the heck I planted here?
This I got as seed of Potentilla from Chadwell Seeds collected in Himalaya.
The leaves reminds me a little of Sibbaldia but the flowers are much bigger - ca 1.5cm across.
I got this as Erigeron aureus. I think it's Hieracium. What do you think? The leaves are very fuzzy. Is it worth keeping? Thanks.

What is it? Astragalus? Oxytropis? Which one? It's about 9 years old, from seed, and it's a very beautiful and tractable plant but I lost the label too many years ago.
Not the best record keeper, but this looks most like D. freynii started from seed last year. The nearest tag was Townsendia parryi-sur e not that
Hi All,
I started this from seed last year. They came from the NARGS exchange but just labeled as Androsace. They have been blooming for a little while. Am I correct in my ID? Click on the pics to enlarge.
