Unknown Plant folder.
http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u

1) Was it the borage or the allium (might be onion) that you wanted
identified?
2) Looks like Lychnis coronaria (rose campion)
3/5) The daisy in the foreground might Silybum marianum; is that a
Helianthus behind it?
4) Canna?
6/7) I presume that this is an Echinacea
8
9/10) I won't argue with the Centranthus and Solidago.


The unknown plants are pictured in the folder "Unknown Plant".


Does it show up in some browsers? With this hint I find it under albums.

The first two photographs look like Urtica urens (small, dwarf or annual
nettle). The third is a willow herb - I can't guarantee being able to
identify the species even if I could see the details of the flowers.


I don't see the response I made before Newswatcher crashed so I'll
respond again.

You correctly identified both. The willow herb is Hoary Willowherb.

I was getting ready to pull them up, which I hate to do until I know
what it is. Thank you for staying my hand, as I have a medecinal herb
garden, and these two are most welcome to stay.

I am indebted to you.
