Memberactually fairly small items, actually. ones that rarely get washed because the tend to get misshapen unless hand washed. and often even then. it doubles as a drying frame.
In fact, it's suggested to use it in a dishwasher for best results and to make it last longer.

the first picture looked like a tangle of modem cords...
the second looked like those washer frames that help a bra hold its shape...
.........until the part about "small", "rarely get washed", and "suggested to use it in a dishwasher".........
sigh...
i expect maizey will be along soon to win again...

MemberGoody.. would you have any idea what this is? I've checked ferns, flowering ferns, etc. It's growing quite rapidly and now has flowers?

Membersamm, you nailed it! this one was branded the ball cap buddy. good thing the site wouldn't let me on earlier, trying to suggest half a really big bra and describing the actual size had me stumped.
here's a shot of a blue-ribbon winning cabbage, a lurking ginko or salamander (I think), what I believe is a blue cornflower, and a immature sunflower that grew from bird seed.
copmom, I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's even close to a fern- the foliage appears palmate, divided but doesn't have the pattern of a fern. I'll root around and see what I can find. does the overall plant have a smell?

Membercorrection- that isn't a cornflower, this is a cornflower complete with bee.
if anyone knows what that other one is, let me know. aargh!

MemberGoodie.. looked up asparagus fern, which seems similar, says 24-36" high, 3-4 feet wide, small white flowers followeed by bright red berries.
This plant is about the same size, but loads of pink flowers.. see the following pictures:

MemberI don't know copmom, but it sure reminds me of my Marguerite Daisy bushes. They come in a variety of colors, are very hardy and drought tolerant and profuse bloomers.
A Garden site with some good pics here.
I gotta get back to work, I'm procrastinating!

Membercalifornia poppies have similar foliage, too. hmmm. davesgarden does have a lot of info, but to get the plant type search you need to be a paying member, not a free one like me.

MemberThank you very much Busy Lady.. this looks just like what we have! Viola, I believe you've solved my puzzle. We didn't plant it, (knowingly), but close to it was small white daisy plant that came with our rhododendrum we put in! That might be the clue, unless a bird put it there.

MemberNo.. goody.. Calif. poppies I definately would know.. had them so many years in So. Calif. And guess what? I can not get them to grow here at all! And yet someone down the hill has some beautiful large poppies growing and keep coming back yearly, but they're a fawncier variety.. like double petals or something. I'd love to get down there and snag some seeds when they're blooming!

Membersnag the pods after they finish blooming and the pods ripen or it won't do much good. I'll see if jim still has pods on his asian poppies for you.
and I wasn't suggesting those were poppies, I was trying to narrow down the amount of classification 'tree' to winnow.

MemberAnd I'd love to have some of those seeds! Maybe on 2nd thought I'd better pass on that! Just found this article when I did a search on your latin name:
Last season was a strange one in my garden, notable not only for the unseasonably cool and wet weather - the talk of gardeners all for its climate of paranoia. One flower was the cause: a tall, breathtaking poppy, with silky scarlet petals and a black heart, the growing of which, I discovered rather too late, is a felony under state and federal law. Actually, it's not quite as simple as that. My poppies were, or became, felonious; another gardener's might or might not be. The legality of growing opium poppies (whose seeds are sold under many names, including the breadseed poppy, Papaver paeoniflorum, and, most significantly, Papaver somniferum) is a tangled issue, turning on questions of nomenclature and epistemology that it took me the better part of the summer to sort out. But before I try to explain, let me offer a friendly warning to any gardeners who might wish to continue growing this spectacular annual: the less you know about it, the better off you are, in legal if not horticultural terms. Because whether or not the opium poppies in your garden are illicit depends not on what you do, or even intend to do, with them but very simply on what you know about them. Hence my warning: if you have any desire to grow opium poppies, you would be wise to stop reading right now.

Memberor you could horrify "someone down the hill" if that's your fancy...
what's the url for the article? I love knowing things I'm not supposed to...
gotta love one of my search hits:

Memberyep, and no apparent hassles reported unless en masse.
that article is dated, (clinton-era, other priorities rule now) and he clearly lived in the wrong state and poked around at the wrong time. and I spotted some factual errors due apparently to myth and rumor but espoused as fact.
mj chopper sweeps are looking for a spectral signature that's pretty unique, not (unless there's a couple acres in a patch) visual ID of anything. nude sunbathers, maybe, but not flowers. yes, it's a gray area- but not a priority when looking for explosive stockpiles.
