weeds or flowers?
8 years ago
I put in lots of bulbs and planted many seeds last couple years - but I still have trouble identifying plants before the flower. And I think some of these are weeds - but just not certain. Can anyone help identify from my photos - I’m in central NC if that helps. Thanks!
