    Thanks! Maybe #6 is English Plantain? Also, the weird type of grass (#3) the feathery seed heads either turn from tan to purple or purple from tan, I don't know. #13, I don't know if it's sweet william. The leaves are darker and are quite shiny. It also grows on a single stem and reaches up about 4 feet or more.

    Ken, please number the photos so members can keep track of what has been IDed and which ones are still a mystery.

    #6 buckhorn weed. I guess I was tired last night :rolleyes: it didn't even cross my mind until I looked and you had numbered them.
    #7 also has creeping charlie in it. not sure if there is a creeping henry, at least not around here, or maybe it is called that there.

    If #14 is prickly lettuce (lactuca), it will have prickles on the underside of the midrib of the leaves. Otherwise, if no prickles, it might be perennial sowthistle (Sonchus).

    Actually, number 13 has small purple pink flowers. It reminds me of Lobelia but the leaves are darker and shinier.

    #10 might be Geranium carolinianum.

    If #13's flower is actinomorphic it is probably a verbena or in that family, if they are zygomorphic then it is probably in the mint family.
