Can you name either plant?

12 years ago

I THINK these are perennials I planted but can't be sure. They came up in march, along with the sorrel. Some kind of herb?
Any help, much appreciated.

The leaves on the plant on the left have me thinking some variety of strawberry.

The plant on the right... I want to say it's a weed, but please don't kill it on just my guess.

Plant on the left looks like Cinquefoil to me. Plant on the right looks a lot like fleabane (Erigeron) to me. In both cases, they'd be considered "pretty weeds".

Edit: submit the photo to the "Name that Plant" forum and see what everyone there thinks they might be.

Doesn't cinquefoil have a five lobed leaf instead of trilobed? Cinque makes me really think five. Strawberry is a good guess. Like wild strawberry.

Fuzzy leaf? Could very well be an erigeron.

Try rough cinquefoil, rob333.
