Plant Identification: SOLVED: sweet white flowers with lace leaves

Author Content Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 12, 2001 9:26 PM Post #6386 Can anyone ID these for me. #1: mallow of some kind? #2: very sweet smelling, great cut flower Click the image for an enlarged view. poppysue Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) June 12, 2001 9:38 PM Post #82592 Here I'd say #1 is lavatera trimestris. And #2 is an herb - maybe myrrhis odorata (sweet cicily)... or it could be chervil or corriander. Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 12, 2001 9:41 PM Post #82594 Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants, if #2 is an herb, I have been using it as cut flower! LOL I'll post a list of all the seeds in the mixture. meplant kelso, WA (Zone 8a) June 13, 2001 1:51 PM Post #82783 I agree with poppysue on #1, but I think #2 is queen anne's lace??.. dignbloom Greenfield, IN (Zone 5b) June 13, 2001 1:52 PM Post #82784 Could #2 be Bishop's Weed? Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 13, 2001 6:13 PM Post #82877 My wife grandmother keep callting #2 queen anne's lace. #2 does not look anything like corriander I have. Thanks everyone!! We purchased a 'cut flowers' mixture of seeds embedded in recycled papers. These are the seeds listed on the bag: calendula -----------------ID painted daisy -------------ID rocket larkspur -----------ID annual baby's breath ------ID perennial lupine ----------ID dwart cornflower ----------ID sulphur cosmos ------------ID purple coneflower ---------ID perennial gallardia tree mallow ((#1??)) zinnia thumbeline ---------ID lance - lvd. coreopsis ----ID sensation cosmos ----------ID shasta daisy --------------ID sweet willian pink dwarf godetia -------------ID clasping coneflower -------ID dwarf plain coreopsis -----ID black eyed susan ----------ID poppysue Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) June 13, 2001 11:18 PM Post #82935 Tim I don't think your #2 plant is on that list. It definitely in the Apiaceae (umbelliferae) family and your grandmother could very well be right with Queen Anne's Lace. It grows as a weed here and it may have just popped up in your soil. Look at the images below and see what you think - http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/fa05/fa05012.jpg http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/mi10/mi10027.jpg http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/mi10/mi10008.jpg This is ammi majus (Bishop's Weed) - an annual relative of Queen Anne's lace that is often grown for cutting http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/Apiaceae/AP0028.JPG And Yes - your #1 flower is most likely the tree mallow lantana (Zone 7a) June 14, 2001 2:30 AM Post #82982 I think amni majus--false Queen Anne's lace. Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 14, 2001 3:05 PM Post #83121 #2 leaves and flowers are similar to ammi majus, so I guess it's Bishop's weed. Thanks everyone!!!
