Um…
1. cistus
2. california poppy (yellow)
3. ??? crinkleleaf deciduousperennial
4. some kind of mint?

OK, I suck at plant ID. Now I’m going to go back and look at the other comments and see if I can learn something.

Congrats on your 6 years! I passed the one month mark yesterday and it felt like an achievement.

One month is an achievement, Karen. A long journey starts with a single step. Thanks for commenting.–Kathy

Thank you for the fun anniversary game, Kathy. I wish I wasn’t so late in entering, but I would have never guessed the third one (nettles) anyway.

I’m glad it was fun, even after someone else gave away the answers. See you on Twitter.–Kathy

Well, buggers…way, way too late.
But, I can still wish you congrats on the anniversary!

And I can still say “Thank you!”–Kathy

Congratulations on your six years of blogging!
It was fun to guess, even though Rick won. Congrats to Rick,too!

Thanks, Philip. You’re a good sport.–Kathy

Congrats Kathy.

Being late to the party, guess I’ll just have to say ‘What Rick said.’

That pretty much sums it up at this point. Thanks for stopping by.–Kathy

Congrats on the six years! So glad that the plants are already identified. I had to no idea!

Vertie, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. It was good to meet you this spring.–Kathy

Okay, I was going to put in my guesses, but since Rick has already won, I’d look silly putting in my completely wrong answers at this point! I was totally convinced that #3 was a mint like many others were, and we were all wrong. But I would love to win an awesome tool. Thanks, Kathy, for giving me some fun this morning. Robin

Glad you had fun, Robin, and as the following post indicates, you did indeed win an awesome tool.–Kathy

Hi Kathy–nice contest! I have no hope of guessing, but #1 is a potato of some kind and #3 looks like some primulas I just got from the ACNARGS sale.
Hee hee but I’m the only one who got to see your fantastic place today and share in the bulb harvest! We probably walked right by ALL of these.
Congratulations on 6 years of blogging and being such a wonderful educator to us all. May it all keep getting only more interesting.

Lynn, I really enjoyed our visit, too. We did walk by some of those plants, but not all of them.–Kathy

Grats Rick

I got here a day late and one guess short. The nettles got me Ouch

potato – only a general guess
poppy – general guess again
? – I was going to say mint of some sort
Lemon balm – I’d never mistake it – I walk around with crushed leaves up to my nose all the time. I know what people must think when they see me

I sometimes like to sniff the lemon balm myself, wiseacre, but I never stopped to think how that looks to others!–Kathy
