Awhile back I posted about a couple of plants I brought back from my Dad’s last December, after he passed. Nobody could identify what they were. I had planned to plant them in the garden this month. But I found out today they are both weeds. And they have died.
I moved them to the garage before our frost a few weeks ago. And they did not make it. So I guess I will dispose of them. Very sad to learn they were not of significance. Even if they would have survived, I would have planted a weed in my yard, knowing it was my Dad’s. But neither of the plants (weeds) survived.

Do you remember when I tried identifying this plant awhile back?

Yes

No

You could grind them up and sprinkle then on Dustin’s garden; Like a cremation kind of thing.
Yes that is a great idea.
Hmm, that’s a disappointment, Carol, in more ways than one 🙁
Indeed Norman, just another thing to deal with. Oh well.
I’m sorry he was just a weed but it’s still interesting
Yes I had two that turned out to be weeds.
I do not know whether the root of the plant can grow into a large tree or not because of the shape of the leaves, it resembles leaves from several trees such as tamarind, moringa, or else… or weeds like Phyllanthus.
Hmmm… it seems that it will last as a mystery.
Back when she was first trying to Id it, I thought moringa too. Wouldn’t that have been nice. You need a moringa tree Carol!! Oh wait, you’d have to drag the thing inside in the winter.
Yes Kim, nothing is ever easy!
I really thought it was a tree because of the leaves.
Most likely, but I have lots of leafy weeds like that around me. I’ll show you tomorrow.
Sorry to hear it was a weed. It sure was a pretty one, and yes I remember trying to ID it. Just look for his cardinals!! 😉
Yes Kim you are right, every day I see them at the deck feeder. Thank you for remembering. It means a lot.
I think its wonderful. To never have them visit, then the year he passes they start showing up? His favorite bird. Amazing.
Absolutely and I do not believe in coincidences. It was suppose to happen.
I liked the saying by Lucy Montgomery since when a loved one passes away, as long as they are remembered, they are not really gone away.
Yes I love that quote, and it is so very true.
One reason is to have the images of our loved ones inside the home.
Yes and I do have photos of all of my loved ones.
That is a good deal to remember your loved ones.
so is this a weed or a significant plant? but remember even the weed has it’s purpose.
As I said in the post…. it is a weed, a dead weed sadly.
so you’re just going to leave us in suspense
Suspense? No, I said in the post it is a weed. A dead weed now.
Oh, I thought you knew the genus and species…
Nope I was told they are weeds. Period. I am done with them. I may do what LaJenna suggested, crumble them in the rose garden.
not a bad idea, they can still be fertilizer
