Gardening: A mystery plant has shown up in my flower bed. Any one know what it is

At first I was worried that it was Hog Weed, but after looking at photos on line I'm not sure.

Gardening: What is this plant?

I bought these little plants a few years ago in early spring. The leaves were a little bit meaty, but not as thick as a succulent. Over the spring and summer the plants grew huge, with long vine-y parts, but the leaves stayed more or less the same size - no more than an inch or two long. At the very peak of summer they did have a little red flower that came out, one or two of them on each plant. It looked almost like a tiny red daisy.

Anyway, I brought them inside in the fall and ...»

they did not like it. I'd love to be able to buy some new ones, if only I knew what they were!

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    Here's more info on the variety you have: Epimedium x perralchicum'Fröhnleiten' ...»

    One of the great workhorses for the garden, this old cultivar is still at the top of its class. The rich, dark-green, glossy foliage is fully evergreen. Cut the leaves to the ground in mid-winter to make room for the brilliant canary-yellow flowers. When it is finished blooming red stained leaves unfurl, highlighted with chartreuse-green veins. This is one of the best epimedium for use as a ground cover. Once established, few weeds can push their way through the dense root system and thick foliage cover.

  • The beginning of the end for my 3rd try with Vinca this year.

Gardening: Vinca having a bad year??

I have planted Vinca for years in my sunny spots and it has always done well. This year I have replaced it for the 3rd time and now I'm giving up. Anyone know of a disease Vinca has this year?

    always a possibility too.

    One thing confuses me a bit. Why are you having to replant every year? Don't know if you have Vinca Major or Minor but both are perennials.

    spending time out there, but weather this year has put us a bit behind. Very glad to see something done. Many projects out there, including having to replace our fencing to something more durable so the bunnies can't chew through.

Gardening: I have a plant that has pink in the middle and yellow around sides.

These plants get a flower first then a large leaved tall plant, beautiful red colors running thru the middle if the green leaf. I starts out with a pink flower and yellow flowers around the sides then next to it it shuts up these tall leaves.

Gardening: Weed?

I have this coming up all through my flowerbed. Can anyone tell me what it is? I can't find anything online that even looks remotely close. I live in the West Central part of Oklahoma if that means anything...
