Looks like Calendula to me, though it's a deeper orange than I've seen before. I think you may have posted in the wrong forum though... Kathy

Looks like calendula to me too....and this is a good place to post this...someone can usually tell you and we all love to see pics of your garden.

Thanks I think I'm confused do I post here or not? I thought Garden forum was the right place. Please point me in the right direction if not.

Sorie, I can understand your confusion--
Have you ever been to the gardenWeb forums page?
At the top of this page, there is a black line with
words-one of which is 'forums'. Click there. You will be amazed at
the number of forums there are. On that page, there are columns of forums. The first column on the left says something like 'garden galleries' and under that there
is 'Name that plant'. That is a good place to find unknown plant names. There are also seed and plant exchanges (which is how I found garden junk). There are forums by state, and forums by plant name, such as Salvia, or Brugmansias, etc.
This forum is just garden junk, and has the conversations (at the top of the garden junk page, in the center) side, where we can talk about other things and ask questions about plant ID or talk to other garden junk posters. There is garden furniture and garden accoutrements. There is also THAT HOME SITE which has a different 'forum' page and that covers stained glass and mosaics, crafts and decorations, tole painting, and trash to treasure, among others. I hope that will help clear things up some.
Lots of wonderful forums, and if you ever go to many, will keep you busy for days sometimes-LOL.

sorie... I don't know what your plant is...but it's beautiful! You are in the "Garden forum" ... but this is the "Garden Junk" one... so, if you're ever in doubt, you can always post anything on the "conversations" side..looks like this when you open up the Garden Junk forum:

Messages:

On-Topic Discussions [Switch to: Conversations]

(then just click on "conversations:)

or you can always look above on the green bar ... it says "Garden Web" and then beside that... "Blogs" ...then "Forums" ... if you click on "Forums" it takes you to a list of every conceivable garden forum!!! This is a wonderful Garden Web...lots of options! Anyway, I found a "name that plant" on there where you can also post pics...

So, take your choice...we always love pics! Thanks for sharing! Jeanne S.

Yep looks like Calendula to me. I have them in my front garden. They self seed every year. I leave them there as the aphids seem to just love them to the point they are covered in them and leave my other plants alone.

Kath

I think calendula too except it seems awfully far along for zone 4. They self seed all over here, but no sign of any yet! Must be in a very warm spot.
kathy

They are on the south side of the house. Boy you are right about reseeding I have lots of them coming up.
Maximavswife they do get aphids every year!!! I didn't think about them leaving other plants along., but I don't get many on the other plants.
Concretnprimroses we're in the Denver area and didn't have much winter. We're getting our snow now and it's WET!! Love it.
Thanks every one for your info. I didn't know there was so much info here. I'll be checking it out when I have time.
Thanks and HAPPY SPRING!!!!
