Sweet clover, Melilotus sp..
A plant that's grown for hay crops and is, unfortunately, extremely invasive by seed.

Guessing Silphium owing to the broad phyllaries and opposite leaves. Here is a link that might be useful: Silphium radula This post was edited by saltcedar on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 10:25

I don't think that is Lespedeza cuneate, because that species has leaves that are squared off a bit on the tips. Leaf tips on the first plant appear to be acute. The second one may be Agalinis fasciculata. It seems to be too leafy for A. purpurea.

That the right genus. It looks like the one most common here is Melilotus officinalis. I think the deer probably ate the tops out of the plants I found. Thank you both for the ID.
