There's this plant that's been growing underneath the blue spruce at home, and I've looked in every flower, shrub, tree, plant book imaginable that I have...and that's quite a few. But I haven't found squat about what this plant is. It's a shrub, and I've found it in the Native Peoples Garden at the DBG...but unfornately the label to what the species of the mystery shrub wasn't anywhere to be seen...and they had a few tall shrubs of the mystery plant around too.
Anyway, when I first seen the plant in its stage when it looked like a forb, I had to really study the leaves because it almost looked like Water Hemlock. But seeing where it grew, and the way the veins where located on the leaf, I tossed that aside. Looked up everybook I could under "shrubs" and couldn't find nadda. Unless I wasn't looking hard enough...
From that rambling I'm guessing you figgered out already that is not a forb but a shrub, it is native, and I doubt very much it is a weed, because I've never seen that plant growing around this here farm for as long as I can remember.
Okay I'll shut up and post the pics, see what you more-plant-savvy folks on here think what it is:
The "mystery" shrub at the DBG
Hope that's enough pics for you to see what I mean about this plant versus water hemlock...leaf wise..
And there it is underneath the blue spruce at home
I hope that's enough pics...
