Fall wildflowers - what are these?

#2 Kinda looks like bluet.

#4 is what we call Creeping Charlie. It is VERY invasive. Thankfully it pulls up easily. But can take over a flower bed or back yard in no time.

Carol, I THOUGHT that it looked like creeping Charlie, but I had never seen it flower before. That stuff drives me crazy, and I HATE the smell of it! Luckily, it's just growing in the woods, so it's not a bother to the garden.

There are domesticated varieties of Creeping Charley that are much more tame than the wild ones. They come with beautiful variegated leaves with silvers and greens, and their stems are soft. Creeping Charley varieties that are variegated and soft stemmed like that are one of the plants we used to sell when I lived in Montana, where nothing tropical grows outside. Folks up there look for tropical looking plants that can survive 44 below. Huechera is another tough beauty, and Alchemila Lady's Mantle. These group together real great, especially with Bubble Gum Spirea all around, and Joe Pye Weed behind with some clumps of Karl Foerster grass or Ribbon Grass...

ohhhhhhhhhh, I'm in landscaping mode!

I spotted this one the other day. The leaves resemble a black or raspberry, but it doesn't look like it's going to fruit. And I've never seen one with such big pink flowers. What is it?

wild rose?

Looks like anemone. Very pretty!

 

[so lucky]

does it have thorns?

 

[curly_kate]

It has stickers like a raspberry does.

Here's a picture of anemone hupehensis Kate. Does this look like your flower?
