If any of you have a moment, I have posted some pick of plants in my garden on the msn website under Alex's Place, on the 3rd page of my album. This is our first summer at this house and a lot of stuff is coming up and we don't know if some of them are plants or weeds - lol! If you have a chance and want to take a look to help identify them, I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Alex

you havea nice assortment of perennials there. The one beside clematis which may be milkweed they might have planted to attract butterflies.
http://www.groups.msn.HouseHomeMemberAlbums will get you there.
pic 0004 looks like Snow on the Mountain, which will get white flower clusters. It can be quite invasive but it is handy to fill in large spaces if you keep it under control. Will grow in shade too.
pic00010 looks like Stella D'oro a yellow day lily.
the other yellow could be a type of "sundrop"
Hi. I want to look at pics, but not sure how to get there. Can you please give URL? Thank you!

to have a mystery to solve! It looks like you have some nice little surprises in there.
0002 - bleeding heart in the left side (the old-fashioned kind) and the one in the middle in front may be a variety of bluebell or harebell (look for the flowers perhaps soon?). Don't know the white ones but mayb something like tansy?
0003 - looks like it might be a daisy as was mentioned, or it could be a black-eyed susan - looks form the buds as if you may know soon.
0004 - looks like a phlox on the left; again, you may know soon because if it is, it should bloom soon. The one on the right is goutweed - most people think of it as a noxious weed, it grows very tenaciously and comes up everywhere, has a tendency to take over. On the other hand it can be very useful where nothing else will grow. in behind it looks like there is a variegated dogwood shrub.
0005 - some kind of a bluebell thing (there are lots of these of different sizes) - this one looks like it might be a wild one. L and R of it with the neat speckled leaves, could be a tiarella, or maybe a heuchera.
0009 - garden loosestrife (I just forget the scientific name - not lysimachia but something like that) - and not the horrible kind that takes over wetlands either, but a nice garden one (I want some but have no room!). To the right of it with the large cut leaves, a delphinium? the short one in front looks familiar but I can't place it.
00010 - daylillies - probably a yellow one and not the large common orange one
00011 monkshood (aconitum)
00012 - in here is also some milkweed, I think (either side of the clematis)
Have fun!
F0002 could have a small Dahlia coming up in the front, and the smaller green one in the front on the right beside it looks like a lily. The one in the bottom left corner looks a bit like Bleeding Heart. I don't recognize the plants with white flowers.
F0003 looks like a Daisy-maybe it's called Shasta Daisy
F0009 The bottom right looks like Hydrangea, but I don't know the yellow flowered one
F0010 looks like a Daylily
