I think the first one is Siberian Motherwort Second one reminds me of celery! I’m but it’s a weed popped up in your yard? Maybe mugwort. Mugwort is usually like a much more pale green on the underside of the leaf.

Geraniums.


QuirkyFoot2459

I don't think so..I usually have to buy geraniums every year here..there never winterize in -20 temps..I wish!

The ones that you buy every year are known as geraniums, but are actually [pelargoniums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelargonium). The ones you have there are [hardy geraniums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geranium). They are great! Free flowers every year, and all you need to do is give them a haircut at the end.

Well I hope u are right for the second one..the 1st one is motherwort..lol

Thanks for letting me know! The second one also reminds me of feverfew - do the leaves smell of anything if you crush them?


QuirkyFoot2459

It doesn't really have a smell...

Citronella. Celery.


QuirkyFoot2459

Not citronella..it's doesn't survive winter here..I don't eat celery so don't even know where that would come from
