Thanks for the ID on the Evening Primrose.  I have 2 others that came from my Mom but are also unknowns as they were planted by the previous owners of her home.  I have a sunny yard and am in Zone 5.

I've spent some time googling and suspect that one is an Artemisia but would appreciate confirmation or more specifics if any are available.  Mom's yard is shady and she says it has never flowered so that is no help to us.

I've been unable to find the creeper online.  

I have no more unknowns after these!!  Once again, thanks in advance!!

Ajuga...I was out in the garden last night and discovered why it looked familiar to me...it has been creeping wider and wider under a canopy of shade. Thank you for indentifying it! Posted: 10:19 am on June 9th
