and help me identify some herbs that lost their labels?


You mean xherb1? Unless I'm forgetting something, the only nettles that I germinated were the milk thistle and stinging nettle and it's neither of those.

Best bet may be a trip to your local herb folks with leaves in hand.

If this is more than 25 miles unless you reason to be in the area forget about these folks.

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. lee

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.

I added two more pics. Not sure if they are wild flowers or feral herbs.

Thanks in advance

and willa bing willa bong?

New to me.

Bill who is finding more stuff is new each day.
