Hey gardening friends, I have lots of views on this video but not many guesses in the comments - if you have an idea about which plants are shown (even one or two), I'd love to hear your thoughts on what they are!
I'm no botanist but I've got lots of these in my yard as well and here's what I've identified them as: 6 - Broadleaf plantain 7 - Goat's Beard 8 - Red CLover 11 - Black Medick 12 - Horseweed (I believe this is native, but usually considered a weed) 14 - Fleabane (I believe this is native, but usually considered a weed) 15 - Bachelor Buttons (cornflower) 17 - it kinds of looks like a tropical houseplant, flowering maple, but I don't know if that's what would be in your yard 19 - Canada Goldenrod - native, but aggressive 22 - Crab grass 23 - dandelion 24 - creeping jenny, they sell this in nurseries as ground cover, and it does spread a lot 25 - wood sorrel - introduced, I have tons of these in my yard 26 - violet, there are native and non-native versions 28 - garlic mustard - invasive, this is the year 1 rosette, it will get seed pods next year 29 - self-heal - native 31 - violets again? 33 - vinca/periwinkle - invasive, still sold in nurseries as ground cover 34 - lily of the valley? although I think lily of the valley foliage is dying out this time of year 36 - petty spurge 37 - shaggy soldier 39 - possibly a Rose of Sharon that has seeded itself from elsewhere in your neighbourhood? 43 - common buckthorn - invasive, especially bad if it's a female with berries because the birds will distribute the seeds 46 - creeping charlie ? - leaves sort of look like small garlic mustards but they are all on long runners Of course I don't guarantee any of these identifications.
Amazing, Phil! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to identify so many! The Canada goldenrod is enormous! If it's native and beneficial, do you encourage it in your garden? Or just leave it be when it volunteers and then not let it go to seed? Or let it go to seed and live and let live? The invasives are such a pain and so relentless. I thought what I had was buckthorn and vinca, and of course the sea of garlic mustard behind my house. I've pulled out some vinca and it keeps on popping up here and there. Have you removed buckthorn before? I'd like to try the "buckthorn baggy"-type plan - hoping to give that a go this fall and hope for the best! Thanks again for all your IDs, I really appreciate it and will document it all for a follow-up video!! 🙂💚
@@TheSuburbanGardenista I need to keep my plant ID skills up to snuff with regular tests 😁 I pull the Canada goldenrod in my yard. It's not a human allergen but when we walk our dog in conservation areas and he brushes on the flowers then he seems to spend a lot of time licking his paws later on so we think the pollen irritates his skin. Also, there is a lot of Canada goldenrod near my place so I'd rather use my garden space for other natives that I don't see in the surrounding environment. I've cut down a few buckthorn trees when I've seen them at the edge of trails. It's really common along trails and in conservation areas. I know cutting doesn't kill it but I figured it would certainly set it back. I've read about the buckthorn baggy and I'm curious if that would work. I should try it on some of the trees along the trails. I don't have any in my yard to test it on. I'd be interested if it works for you.
@@peregier I'm glad I could assist with your ID skills! I'm trying to get better myself. I might leave the Canada goldenrod and cut it back when it goes to seed. I certainly don't want too much of it in my yard! The buckthorn is actually right behind my fence, but I've claimed this little stream as my own and I'm try to get rid of the invasives as much as I can. I'm hoping to try the buckthorn baggy strategy this fall if I can find a good day to chop it down and do a bit of filming - I'd like to document this little experiment if I can. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on all of these - it is so helpful and means a lot to me!
I’m no expert, but I wonder if #32 is dog strangling vine. Watch for long thin green seed pods. Best advice I’ve seen is to get rid of it and be carful to discard all the seed pods in the garbage.
Thank you! I was thinking it might have been evening nightshade because I had that there before, but the leaves don't seem to fit. You might be right with dog strangling vine - I have found it on my property - either or, that one will have to go!

I'm no botanist but I've got lots of these in my yard as well and here's what I've identified them as:
6 - Broadleaf plantain
7 - Goat's Beard
8 - Red CLover
11 - Black Medick
12 - Horseweed (I believe this is native, but usually considered a weed)
14 - Fleabane (I believe this is native, but usually considered a weed)
15 - Bachelor Buttons (cornflower)
17 - it kinds of looks like a tropical houseplant, flowering maple, but I don't know if that's what would be in your yard
19 - Canada Goldenrod - native, but aggressive
22 - Crab grass
23 - dandelion
24 - creeping jenny, they sell this in nurseries as ground cover, and it does spread a lot
25 - wood sorrel - introduced, I have tons of these in my yard
26 - violet, there are native and non-native versions
28 - garlic mustard - invasive, this is the year 1 rosette, it will get seed pods next year
29 - self-heal - native
31 - violets again?
33 - vinca/periwinkle - invasive, still sold in nurseries as ground cover
34 - lily of the valley? although I think lily of the valley foliage is dying out this time of year
36 - petty spurge
37 - shaggy soldier
39 - possibly a Rose of Sharon that has seeded itself from elsewhere in your neighbourhood?
43 - common buckthorn - invasive, especially bad if it's a female with berries because the birds will distribute the seeds
46 - creeping charlie ? - leaves sort of look like small garlic mustards but they are all on long runners
Of course I don't guarantee any of these identifications.

Great video. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much for watching! 💚
Can you ID any plants? I'd love to hear what you think!
