Would those of you who know something of medicinal herbs
please cast an eye on http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u
and help me identify some herbs that lost their labels?


first one looks like a goldenrod, the second looks like it
might be bergamot (bee balm) & the third looks a bit like
either boneset or Joe Pye Weed. no idea on the last one
though.

I think your right. I have two golden rods in the ground but they
haven't flowered yet. Bergamot, a.k.a. Monarda didyma L., looks right
and that helped me identify Melissa officinalis, the other bee balm.
I can't thank you enough.
