Re: [Native Gardening] question about plant

 

hi sorry to hijack this...but i have a plant that looks similar to yours, but also a lot like violets.  they do not flower, though, and grow to be about 2-3 times the size of the violets in the rest of my yard which do flower. most of them seem to be about 3-4 inches wide (the leaves), some get as big as 5 or 6 inches wide.   the violets in my yard which do bloom are only about 2-3 inches wide.   i know that without a photo people may not be able to help me....but if you can just think of some plant names that I could google, perhaps I could find out what it is via process of elimination.    a friend told me they were lilies, but lo and behold, no flowers.  another website told me that they could be violets that were not getting enough sun...but still, they seem so big.   thanks for any help you can provide.  if it helps at all I live near wet woodlands.  the plants are in a shady area of my yard under 2 verbanums (sp?) and a giant tree.   thanks again -jamie   --- On Sat, 9/3/11, Kathleen Domenig <kmdomenig@mindspring.com> wrote: From: Kathleen Domenig <kmdomenig@mindspring.com> Subject: Re: [Native Gardening] question about plant To: nativegardening@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, September 3, 2011, 5:33 PM   Ha! That's additionally funny, because we just finished making a huge batch of pesto with basil I bought at the farmers' market this morning.  First, though, I pulled out that pesky garlic mustard and put it in the compost, exposed roots up. I understand that the seeds shouldn't go in the compost, but it was just leaves.

I hadn't realized the first-year plants looked different from the later plants--rounder, less pointy leaves, rosette form. Once you suggested it, I found the identifying pictures.  Out it goes. Right now. Thank you.

It's been cropping up here and there in my garden, and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it or with it. It looks sort of heuchera-ish to me, and in fact it started next to some heuchera americana (which you can see behind it to the right) The stems for each leaf seem to come straight out of the ground, in a cluster, heuchera-stule. Many thanks.
