How do i know if i have flowers or weeds?

i sowed some seed packets about 2 months ago. i thought one pot was growing well, but no flowers, yet. so i took a piece to the nursery and the guy said it was a weed. i have other planters that i put other seeds in and i have some growth but no flowers on any of them. how and when will i know if they are weeds or flowers? i don't really remember what i planted so i can't look them up. i do know i planted morning glory and i do have the vine part going but no flowers there either. does anyone know what i should do or look for b/c if they are all weeds, i want to pull them sooner than later %26amp; buy a few flats but i also don't want to jump the gun. ahh it's a mess. please help. i prefer not to go back to the nursery if possible. thanks

the definition of a weed is just any plant you don't want,.....all plants Flower, even the plants you call weeds,.....if you were growing corn, and a rose came up and you did not want it there, that in definition would be a weed,.....
Reply:well, i would, i think. i'd go to a different nursery (or the same one, if you like it, but get a different salesperson) with a cutting.





or, take a cutting, put it in water and sit it beside your computer. go through google images and check out weeds. focus on the leaf.





or, go to the library and take out some gardening books.





i'd certainly look on google images for morning glories so you know what you've got there. they have a heart-shaped leaf, quite a dark green. they need full sun to bloom. they won't bloom nearly as much, if at all, if they're climbing in the shade.





you could also take a pix of the cutting and post it on a gardening message board site. someone might know what they are.





good luck.
Reply:generally speaking any plant that robs nutrients from the intended plant is considered to be weeds.
Reply:i have found that anything with sharp prickelies is a weed. the stuff from seed takes forever and never looks as good as if you buy flats tho.
