Jane on Jun 28, 2015The yellow plant that resembles a snapdragon is called Toad Flax, an invasive weed. The seeds will disperse and then it will take over. Pull it and get it out of your yard! The blue flowering plant is also considered a weed.Helpful Reply

Sharon Catania on Jun 28, 2015They both are weeds and very invasive. They may be beautiful, buy their roots are long and they are hard to get rid of. Both toad flax. The county I live in advises to pull them immediately because they re-seed readily.Helpful Reply

Rosalie S on Jun 29, 2015The yellow one is toadflax and the blue is bugloss--I think. But whether you call them weeds or wildflowers or volunteers, the honeybees need a variety of blossoms to stay alive. Rather than pulling them all out, if you have an area where you can let them flourish, they can help to sustain our precious bee population. So if you can, leave them alone. Let them grow at least until their blossoms have faded. Our bees will thank you for it.Helpful Reply
