2 plants that need ID please?

18 years ago

Hi, can you all help me please? I have 2 plants here that need ID.

First one is in 2 pix, top and bottom, DH just brought this home to me, saw in growing somewhere probably in semi-wooded area & I guess he liked it..so here it is. Any clues?

This second one is coming up in one of my beds..noticed another also. At first thought they were runners from orange trumpet vine, but these arent runners, have very small root systems right now. I threw down alot of seeds between fall and now, and have no clue if this is a weed or something I put there, lol. So, what do you think?

Thank you!

The first plant is Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense).

The second I'd suspect is Beggar Ticks (Bidens frondosus). See pictures in the link below.

The first one I think you are correct on the horsetail part, but I dont think it's the field horsetail..can that grow in marshy areas? DH came home & said it was in a marshy swampy area. I was gonna chuck it, but decided to put it in the bog tub.

I don't think the 2nd one is beggar's ticks.

Hi,
It looks like Field horsetail to me. I've been battling it for a long time. It will grow in all kinds of conditions I've found. It will grow in sun, shade, moist, or dry. I hate this weed, lol.

Thanks Remy. I don't think it's a good looking plant, and its looking kinda crappy in the bog tub..I think I'm gonna chuck it. I really dont want it popping up everywhere in my beds.

No clues as to the 2nd one besides beggar's ticks?

I don't know, looks like Bidens frondosa to me, too.
