Guess this Plant/Garden Quiz Game 3
Q

#1 - the "correct" common name. I started doing a bit of research on this plant and is there ever a lot of discrepancy on it. I'm finding articles that say that Van Leenan doesn't even exist yet I've found other works that he has done, so I'm not convinced that's true. And I've found many reports that say that this plant does not have any effect on repelling mosquitoes. Others say its wonderful. But, the scientific data seems to say otherwise. I've never had one (MIL did years ago) but the reports say it is quite expensive because it is only propagated by cuttings. I was thinking about getting a couple for my deck but I'm not sure if the smell is quite what I want. I like my "floral" fragrances. Anybody want to start a thread to let us know your thoughts and experiences? In the meantime, find the correct common name. (teehee) While your at it, tell us why the names that Sharon has given are technically incorrect, even for a common name. Shauna

My deliberation process was interrupted by the phone. It seems someone stole my husband's credit card number so they're having to cancel his card and issue a new one. Want a good laugh? The people who stole his number used it at an online Christian t-shirt site, where they purchased just less than $2000 worth of silkscreened tees! LOL! How crazy is that?????? Okay, again, I'll be back. Right now I'm thinking box 4

OOO ooo oo, I guess it's some sort of way-to-big ant mound? I've seen that picture (one similar) on one of these forums and was amazed at what critter built it. Ah, Sherry! I was being slow and just understood your answer. Okay, I change my answer from ant mound to the same as Sherry's--"mother earth" Haaaa, LOL! Carla

Nope, not a bleeding heart or a spectabilis.

The rootstock bears numerous small tubers resembling grains of yellow corn....

"Dicentra, is a genus that some say belongs in the Fumariaceae family. Others chose to include that family as a subfamily, Fumarioideae, in the Papaveraceae? family".

It is of the Dicentra family...and the link shows the Dicentra Canadenis is there...same as photo...The book I am using is 'Wildflowers In Color' by Arthur Stupka w/assistance of Donald Robinson...identifies it as being in the 'poppy family', doesn't give scietific name....

So Eric, Dicentra family is correct but it is canadensis...your still pretty good!

Do you study plants and their scientific names? and how on earth do you begin to even decide what to look for?

the above book has more than 250 wildflowers incolor, primarily about flowers of Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Shenendoah Park copyrighted 1965...I'm sure there are lots of newer field guides that are up to date...but it has helped me identify quite a few plants in my area...cos it's not so huge that I can't go picture by picture...
