| Okay, now it's flowering. Before this thing sets seed, is is something I planted, ya think? I'm still stumped, even seeing the blooms! The leaves are nothing like the garlic mustard that's growing everywhere in our yard at least.
Here's the whole plant from my earlier post: http://davesgarden.com/showthread/220417.html

| Some of the leaves almost resemble Christmas cactus. I know it's not that!! I'm stumped!! The flowers look a bit like Iberis but the leaves do not match. |

| The horsenettle's an interesting idea, but I think these flowers are smaller, and the leaves aren't quite so jagged on the edge, though. |

| Baa's currently in the frame of mind that someone has stuck the wrong flowers on this plant *BG*
Best guess so far is something in the Crucifer section, I'll try and look it up. |

| I believe I will yank it, or at least deadhead it before it can set seed. I don't remember planting anything at the base of the birdbath. All sorts of weeds and grass have overtaken this lasagna flowerbed because we (1) didn't first kill the grass (2) didn't put down enough layers of newspaper and (3) didn't put down enough compost and whatnot before mulching. Grrrrrrrr. |

| GW would you be so kind as to take a pic when flowers open a little more please, I'd like to see if the flower stems elongate and what for the flower heads eventually take. In my mind this is of the Brassicaceae and I've a few possibles but I'm not confident that any match your plant exactly.
Does it have a scent? and Are the leaves fleshy? |

| You know, the leaf suggested basil to me. I agree that it looks like an herb. Does it put off a scent when you rub the leaf? |

| Hmmmm...Haven't rubbed it. I will try and remember to get another picture of the flowers tomorrow, provided they're fully blooming at this point. I sure didn't plant any basil there, and the only basil I have in the yard already is purple basil. Hmmmm...Could be a volunteer I guess!
More soon; stay tuned. Same bat-time, same bat-forum. |

| Okay, I've rubbed the leaves. Absolutely no smell to them. I scanned a flowerhead since that gave me better detail than a photograph. Look here in my journal: http://davesgarden.com/editgj/showimage.php?iid=5506 |

| Hi Kimberley! Guess what girlfriend?? I think this is a weed. I have three of them in a spot where I am sure I did not put them. Good old Ohio weeds. LOL |

ODE TO THE WEED
He wasn't all deep-rooted, so he came up without a fight
I dropped him in the dumpster and put the lid on tight
Tomorrow he will travel far, out to the dump's domain
And mixed in with the refuse there he'll surely sprout again
...But he'll be their problem!
;) Kimberley

| Seeing the plant on it's side has made me think it is Lepidium possibly L. latifolium - Dittander, I think those of you in the in the US call it Peppercress. |

| Sure will! How about "By Gardenwife from davesgarden.com"? Or would you prefer your full name? Or just Kimberly in parentheses after "Gardenwife" in the above?
Louisa, a "byline" is just that, a line that says "By so-and-so." |
